Small waterfall, but at least one of the largest in this section of Monbachtal. The water is crystal clear. Great place for a break.

Stepping Stones over the Monbach

Highlight • Bridge

When the water level is normal, it is not a problem to walk over the stones and cross the stream. Up to the upper part of the gorge there are several crossings that arouse enthusiasm, especially among children.

Monbach Stepping-Stone Crossings

Highlight • Bridge

Especially after rain or during high water, crossing the stream becomes an adventure. The mossy stones are extremely slippery and treacherous.
It is not for nothing that the Monbach is divided into sectors by signs. If something does happen, rescue services will know where best to approach the accident site.

Ran a slightly modified route in the beautiful Monbachtal with a friend...it was a bridge day...it was busy. But it was still nice.

When the leaves fall from the trees in autumn and the canopy of leaves in the forest slowly thins out, there is a particularly magical atmosphere in the Monbach Valley: ferns and green moss everywhere – autumn can be so green! And all of this accompanied by the constant rippling of the idyllic, small Monbach.

Wow wow wow 💚💚💚

That was a lovely tour!

A huge thank you goes to @Heike 📷🦋🥾🪻 for the recommendation, without you I would have really missed something!
This valley is so wonderfully wild and romantic, narrow riverside paths along the babbling Monbach, mossy stones, fallen trees and lots of mushrooms. Simply pure nature 💚
Unfortunately I can't adequately express …

A very beautiful hike along the Monbach Gorge. It wasn't crowded today. I was alone at times.

Beautiful hike.

Today is a very hot day.
28 degrees, not really a temperature for hiking.
But in the Monbach Valley, completely in the forest, it's pleasant.
The incline is gradually increasing.
The last stretch was steep, but the reward was the beer garden "finally at the top."
We returned the same way; the circular route would have been possible …

A very nice hike through the Monbachtal with only a few other hikers, so you could choose and photograph many beautiful motifs in peace. The way out directly along the stream, quite rocky back partly along a quiet, narrow path on the other side of the stream to rest your feet. All in all a successful shady hike at 30°C …

Today the Monbachtal starting from above, because of the playground. As always fantastic, always new colors, always something new. The storm did some damage, but luckily none.
