Mountain biking

Calcareous tuff springs, like here in Elfengrund, are an unusual, rare habitat that needs to be protected. They occur in areas where the groundwater is heavily enriched with dissolved lime. The waterfall in Elfengrund is one of the largest tufa springs in Hesse. The Gatterbach, which rises from nearby springs, has over time piled up the limestone tuff on mosses through the constant supply of lime deposits and formed steps for waterfalls. Due to their porous structure, the limestone tuffs are extremely fragile and therefore endangered. It is therefore forbidden to enter, otherwise the naturally formed structure will be destroyed!

The waterfall in Elfengrund is rather unspectacular, but the path that leads there is great
