Lower Hörschbach Trail

Highlight • Trail

This path is well developed and wonderful to walk because you walk on gravel and find the shade tolerable in high heat. In my picture you can see a straight grown tree.

Upper Brook Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A shortcut to the upper Bachweg which is easier to walk than the path through the blade.

Path to the Hörschbach Waterfalls

Highlight • Trail

Here you can walk down to the back waterfall (Hörschbach). It is not far from here. You can hear voices from the children playing at the waterfall.

Wooden Bridges and Staircase in Hörschbach Gorge

It's always muddy in the Hörschbach Gorge. Sturdy shoes are a must.

Rear Hörschbach Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Very popular with children, but also for those who want to take beautiful pictures. Damming water and then when you open it again, a lot of water comes on the waterfall.

A really great round.
The waterfalls in the Hörschbachschlucht are simply beautiful. And today, in the best hiking weather, it was deserted. Fantastic.

This gorge is really worth experiencing. The noises of the sometimes more, sometimes less babbling brook or brook everywhere. Splendid! The waterfalls alone are worth seeing.

From the Rottmannsberger sawmill over many rock and wooden steps down into the romantic and wild upper valley of the Hörschbach. After a short time to the Hinterer Hörschbach waterfall. The partially dammed water can be released through a lock and the waterfall pours a large amount of water over the rock. From here it is possible to continue either …

After a long time back in the beautiful Hörschbach Gorge. Unfortunately, the path along the stream is only accessible for a short distance. Was a great way.
But the way over the upper Bachweg is also beautiful.
Children are rewarded with a dam on the creek at the turning point. Dam up water and then feed the waterfall with it …

June 9, 2024,Hörschbachschlucht – durch die Schlucht, offiziell gesperrt

Unfortunately, the gorge is officially closed. We tried it anyway. In some places the paths are blocked by landslides. There are no more and you have to change sides without bridges. So we go through the stream. The existing bridges are rotten, and in some places the boards are missing.
The paths are also often blocked by fallen trees that …

Today I was looking for icicles and found what I was looking for at the Hörschbach waterfall before the thaw sets in💯❄️😍 Was ideal to walk in frosty weather, when it thaws and rains again, the path is not accessible🤔
