Gütersteiner Waterfall

A small but very beautiful waterfall, with benches for resting and a drinking water source.

Not quite as spectacular as the nearby Urach waterfall, but with the moss and ferns overgrown Sinterterassen very unspoiled and beautiful to look at.

The Gütersteiner waterfall falls into the neighboring valley only about a kilometer north of the much better known Uracher waterfall and is much less visited than it. The waterfall falls in two cascades with a basin in between about 20 meters into the depth. Due to the high humidity, the vegetation is just as lush as its big brother. In earlier times, lime was mined here, which the water washed out on the short path from the Alb plateau and which precipitates again in the cascades.
