Waterfalls on the Schöntaler Bach

Small waterfall on the Schöntaler Bach directly on the hiking trail towards Rottal.

There's a magnificent waterfall at this spot! With enough water, it's truly a small spectacle, something you'd never expect here.In addition to the relatively large waterfall, there are a few other smaller waterfalls to admire along the Schöntaler Bach.

The Schöntaler Bach is a stream in the Mainhardt Forest in northern Baden-Württemberg, approximately 3 km long from its source furthest from its mouth. It flows into the middle reaches of the Fichtenberger Rot from the right and southwest, just downstream of the former Hankertsmühle (mill) in Mainhardt, on the municipal and district border between Großerlach in the Rems-Murr district and Mainhardt in the Schwäbisch Hall district, and flows into the middle reaches of the Fichtenberger Rot from the right and southwest.Sources:
The Schöntaler Bach originates on the spring-rich northeast slope and foot of the almost entirely forested Hohe Brach, with its summit at 586.9 m above sea level, the highest elevation in the entire Swabian-Franconian Forest. Two springs at the origin of the main stream rise close together at only about 510 m above sea level; the outflow of a nearby third soon strengthens the young stream. The highest spring, with a noticeably longer branch, rises at about 570 m above sea level, just about 400 meters northwest of the high point of the flat mountain cap on the edge of the K 1903 county road from Großerlach to Grab. Its half-kilometer-long and thus noticeably longer branch runs northeast down the slope and joins the main stream branch at the west-southwest tip of an elongated clearing around the Großerlacher Schöntalhöfle, also called Schertelshöfle.Course:
The stream then flows for approximately 750 meters along the southern edge of the clearing to the Buch forest area on the lower slope of the Brach, passing through a quarter-hectare pond with a small island near the Schöntalhöfle. A second long slope branch, the Fuchsklingenbach, joins it from the right, emerging from the mountain forest, this time even more than a kilometer long. It rises near the eastern subsidiary peak of the Brach and the hamlet of Hohenbrach, also next to the county road. Shortly thereafter, the stream passes under the access road from Grab to the Schöntalhöfle at approximately 460 meters above sea level. Here it turns northeast, flowing between the Schöntalhöfle on the left slope of the hill and the Schöntalsägmühle on the right bank, and immediately enters the Schöntal Forest permanently.At a small clearing, the district and municipal border with Mainhardt reaches the stream from the north and then follows it to its mouth. At a multiple fork in a forest path that now follows the stream to the left, the Limes route, accompanied by the Limes hiking trail, crosses the small valley from Grab in the south-southeast to Mainhardt in the north-northwest. On the section from Grab, the Säugraben, a striking notch in the terrain, several times as deep and wide as a typical sunken road and sometimes drained by a small trickle, lies here on the dead-straight old border line. Shortly afterward, the last significant tributary, the Güldenklinge, flows in, also from the right, towards Schönbronn in the southeast.After crossing under a small farm track along the edge of the Rottal valley, the Schöntaler Bach flows from the right into the middle course of the Fichtenberger Rot, which flows eastward here in a narrow, open forest valley floor, between the now deserted sites of the Mainhardt Hankertsmühle (main mill) and the Schönbronn Sägmühle (saw mill) downstream.
