At first it is just a narrow, almost inconspicuous stream. But soon the hesitant rippling becomes a confident noise. The narrow brook becomes a broad brook that makes its way down through the forest towards Wannbach. The calcareous water has formed wonderful sintered stages over the millennia, over which the water flows down in countless small waterfalls. The stream bed dries out quickly in summer or when there is a long period of drought. I was after a rainy day and was lucky enough to enjoy the sound of the clear water.

A beautiful, narrow path leads along the Weißenbach into the valley. The initially narrow stream widens and forms sinter terraces.

Very nice path along the stream. The stream started to form sinter terraces. Unfortunately, he did not have much water in my time.
