The valley of the valleys in the Süntel! Wildly romantic and untouched.
Logging was stopped here for many years, long before the state forestry designated this area as a natural forest that is no longer managed.

When the entire forest floor is covered with leaves, the path / branch from the Blutbach spring is practically invisible, so simply take the steepest path downhill, along the course of the stream.
With / after rain the descent is extremely slippery. Sticks can be helpful here. But after the first 200 meters it gets better and you can enjoy the great path.

Very slippery to go from the Blutbach source. Since I recommend horse shoes and good shoes. It goes steeply downhill. The best way to plan a tour is to climb there!
