In the karst areas of the Franconian Jura you can sometimes find these small streams. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Steinernen_Rinnen_in_Bayern
The stone channel is about 100m long and runs very steeply in the upper part.
The gutter is partially damaged but still worth seeing, the climb is humane.

The stone channel is less than a 2 minute walk from the main road. Simply super nice to look at .. Because of nature conservation not accessible, but you can see everything well .. I read somewhere that the channel is not intact, so I don't know it's actually not nicer.

Düsselbach hides in the forest a rare geological phenomenon, a stone gutter. Normally, watercourses cut into the terrain, but here in the karst area it is sometimes reversed, the lime deposits build a dam on whose crown the water flows. The water at Düssenbach in the approx. 50 cm high limestone channel shoots down the slope for a good 100 meters.
The gutter can be found 250 meters south of Düsselbach west of the road on the wooded slope. (There are no signs)
