    The waterfall became a deadly flood in 1778, when the masses of water from the Kalkach swept away a house and killed 7 people and the cattle. The story of the "Pentecost Flood" is told at station 14 of the circular hiking trail. sagenhaftes-graefenberg.de

      From Wikipedia: The Kalkach is the right source stream of the Aubach in Franconian Switzerland. It rises in the Kalkbrunnen on the northern edge of Gräfenberg.

        This small waterfall is directly at the "Gräfenberg Bahnhof" station. Follow the platform to the end in the direction of travel, then turn left and after 50m turn right. Just follow the rushing water.
