    Hiking

    The Gaishöll waterfalls are located in Sasbachwalden. The Brandbach falls down into the valley like a cascade. A height difference of 200 m must be overcome over 13 bridges.

    Hiking

    Idyllic path along the stream, which flows into the valley via several cascades... the rocks are mystically covered with moss... Numerous bridges lead over the individual steps and allow beautiful views of them... The stone steps can become very slippery when wet...

    Hiking

    The Brandbach stream plunges down a narrow gorge here, known as the Gaishölle (Goat's Hell). Over the centuries, the steep gradient of the water has eroded the enormous boulders and glacial erratics lying on the valley floor, creating a wild and romantic wooded gorge with numerous waterfalls.

    In earlier times, it was impossible to walk through the valley normally. To traverse the gorge, one had to "geißen," meaning to move along by climbing like a goat. "Hölle" (Hell) is an old-fashioned name for a narrow, wild area with many rocks and stones.
