The path along the Kästenbach is a challenging parkour with lots of trees lying across it, but if you look around you can discover a beautiful waterfall and a small cave.

The Kästenbachklamm is a small but beautiful challenge.

At the moment, after all the rain, it is quite slippery and muddy near the stream. With so many trees lying across it, you sometimes have to go over, sometimes under, climb, jump or balance...

We had fun 👍

In my opinion, opinions are divided on this trail.

I did it two years ago and thought it was adventurous and cool.

Then I did it today as a descent after a longer hike and couldn't be bothered anymore 😂

The trail feels like it did two years ago, but with even more trees.

So if you like:

- Climbing over/under/past a never-ending stream of dead trees
- Experiencing the stench of the stream without water
- Skillfully dodging some stinky mud
- Playing at the beginning in a spot with lots of fallen trees where to go next
- Avoiding wet, muddy, and slippery rocks with every step.

You've got a match here. I won't be up for it again anytime soon. This isn't a good thing, especially at the end of a hike 😂

You have to be extremely focused here, constantly trying not to complain, climbing rotten trees every few meters, and getting a thousand plants in your face. On top of that, the humidity is high.
