オーバーバッハハイムの峡谷・トップ20

The narrow path leading up through the Heimbach valley to the Werlauer Höhe was, for me, the most beautiful section of the route.

The "Werlauer Pilz" lookout point is iconic, and not just because of the view.

The Pulsbachklamm is a narrow gorge covered with mosses and ferns, through which the Pulsbach, only 4.5 km long, finds its way to the Rhine.

Immediately after the railway underpass on the B42, you enter the gorge. It becomes quiet, and all you can hear are the chirping of birds and the babbling of the Pulsbach stream. The path is very beautiful, but in places it's very narrow and steep, requiring surefootedness. I wouldn't walk it if it's wet. Here, we also come across the signs for the Rheinsteig trail, which then guide us to Prath.

A very beautiful trail, but you should be free from vertigo. The path is narrow, and there's a constant precipice on one side. Slightly alpine.

The Pulsbach not only has this one very beautiful waterfall, but also many other small and medium-sized waterfalls. In rainy years, like 2024 and winter 2025, there is a very audible splashing and murmuring here and it looks simply amazing. The steep cliffs are decorated with mosses and ferns, which are beautifully green even in winter. Simply a great tour along the stream!!

Definitely one of the most beautiful sections of the Rheinsteig. The dense moss fields are great to look at

narrow paths, beautiful nature, simply great....
