Cascade in the Kaskaden Gorge

Highlight • Waterfall

Here you can see one of the cascades. The Feldbach has dug into the terrain and created the gorge, but is held back here and there by hard layers of rock.

July 28, 2021,Wanderung Kaskadenschlucht

Today I went on foot, hiked the Kaskadenschlucht near Gersfeld / Sandberg. Impressive and interesting.
And while you're already there, the Wasserkuppe isn't far either.

Super nice hike in the snow. Beginning and end of the Kaskadenschlucht car park. At the beginning it goes along the course of the stream over many small bridges. Hiked everything piano, was fun. Recommendable
