For higher water levels certainly not recommended, so better before you look for an alternative route.

With a lot of luck you can watch spawning minnows from the stepping stones between April and June. Hundreds of spawning minnows then gathered here to spawn. A very rare spectacle, this spectacle can be seen under the following link:

According to the information sign, the actual "end of the world" is here. Coming from Alhausen, the path at the Nister ends here, the steeply rising rocks on the right and it is only possible to continue via the "Steininsel".

When the water is not high, the Nister can be crossed over large stones - works -usually- quite well, but sometimes you have to make a small jump. But since the water is not deep, there is no greater danger if you "miss" a stone ;-).

This is the "alternative route" World Heritage nature trail, which is signposted from the World Heritage vantage point - the route is very good and you can hardly miss the further path.
