According to records, an “old castle” must have stood here around 1655. There probably never was a noble family based on the Burgbach rock. Unfortunately nothing remains. Source: https://www.alleburgen.de/bd.php?id=11224 You can use a circular path to ascend and descend the Burgbach rocks: up the stone stairs to the pavilion and down along a path (or vice versa, depending on your taste). The view from the rock is incredible, especially when the weather is nice...

Next to the viewing pavilion is a large table with benches. Here we were able to enjoy a hearty snack.

small waterfall with a nicely furnished rest area and drinks station. Shady and cool in summer.

Well done, with a little practice you can get on the almost 1.90m high seat platform by yourself.

The water 🌊 flows down over two larger steps at the Holchen waterfall. At the foot of the waterfall, the water has carved out a small cauldron. At the Holchen waterfall there is a very hard granite rock. Especially on hot days a nice cool place to hang out a bit, you don't die of thirst 🥤🍺🥃 you definitely don't. Just enjoy 👍🤩

You should definitely treat yourself to the ascent to the tower: the view over large parts of the Black Forest and the Vosges is absolutely magnificent.

Great area to relax and enjoy :)
