At night you can even go without a flashlight. The path is just enough that you do not stumble and you can orient yourself by mirroring the stars in the water where the stream is.

From the Maisental parking lot, the trail continues along the Brühlbach stream. It's also wheelchair-accessible up to the steps in front of the Urach Waterfall. The numerous cascades in the stream and the crystal-clear water make the trail truly enjoyable. On weekends, it's advisable to set off early, as it gets quite crowded after lunchtime.

Stepped Path to Urach Waterfall

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

On nice days it gets so crowded that you have to queue, which is a bit too much for me personally.

August 24, 2023,Alb-Erkundung, Tag 4: 🥾🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ Uracher Wasserfallsteig

Sodele... So that your feet don't forget how to walk, the next item on the program to "get to know the beautiful Alb" was a short hike to the next local tourist highlight: to the Urach waterfalls. The tour, which was actually intended as a circular route, was quickly rescheduled to the version "walk there - look & be amazed …

Today is a special day for my family so I took one day off and stayed with my children for the whole day.
Shame to be said, but in 8 years we never visited Bad Urach so we went there.
I have to thank @Dreamer0304 that showed Bad Urach in one of his last videos: I saw it and decided …

Started at -11 degrees but as long as you ran fast it actually worked. At the waterfall, people came in the dark from above only with cell phone light. They're completely down there. You can only shake your head at that. I wouldn't do it voluntarily without Grödel.

Today we went to the Urach waterfall with the grandkids 🌊. The plan was to return on the Höhenweg, but the kids wanted to go down the steps again, through the water. The nice weather had lured many out today.

There are many steps leading up to the waterfall. It was really worth seeing what kind of shoes some people were wearing. Everything from flip-flops to golden ballerina shoes was there...

July 30, 2022,👩🚐👩🏼 Schwäbische Alb: Bad Urach ~ wunderschöne Tour am Bach entlang zum Wasserfall

With 1200 mg ibuprofen and my ankle donut in my hiking boots, I spontaneously went to the waterfall in Bad Urach this evening. A brilliant idea, as it turned out, because firstly we found a parking space (even free of charge because of the time) and secondly there were still a few people on the road. How crowded can it …

I never thought that I would have to cancel a tour in the Swabian Alb. The Gütersteiner waterfalls were also planned. But the narrow path from the Urach waterfall there was as smooth as glass. So then the turnaround and the circular path in the valley back to the parking lot.
