Information sign with interesting information

The nature reserve is in two parts with a total size of 42ha and was designated in 1980. Part 1 Edenbach Gorge around 5.2ha Part 2 Wieslaufschlucht around 36.8ha Brief description: Deeply cut gorges with natural geological outcrops and rock formations as impressive geological phenomena and as natural habitats for the flora and fauna indigenous to the Keupklingen; Bannwald (LWaldG § 32). Extract of appreciation: It is obvious that in this barely accessible gorge, which was only recently made accessible by a path created by the Welzheim Forestry Office, a near-natural gorge forest with sycamore maple, mountain elm, ash, silver fir, etc. has been preserved. Many floristic peculiarities can be found here, such as the magnificent forest goat's beard and, particularly precious, the alpine / subalpine white butterbur (Petasites albus), which appears in early spring, alongside many fern and moss species. Notable birds include: to name the dipper and the gray wagtail.

An absolute highlight of the region. Unfortunately, most of the path along the stream has been washed away, which makes it very exhausting and adventurous

The rear waterfall consists of two waterfalls. At the rearmost waterfall, you can regulate the amount of water yourself with the help of a dam via the dam above. It's not just fun for young children.

A trip here is definitely worth it ... super beautiful landscape 🥰 only in bad weather you really need to be careful ... sometimes really slippery and dangerous

Great tour, waterfall top 👍

Imposing icicles in freezing cold. From the Upper Hörschbachtfall through the gorge to the Hinteren Hörschbachtal, not recommended. Very! difficult to walk, really dangerous.
