The small waterfall (the largest in the gorge) is actually the most beautiful spot in the valley. Magnificent rocks - some you can sit on. A wonderful place of power - especially when there is not so much going on.

In the whole Monbach Gorge there are several small waterfalls that are also waiting for you away from the large overflowing main path

Idyllically located Wildsee in the high moor, which can be visited quietly and during the week without the hustle and bustle. It is essential to ensure that you stay on the laid out path that leads through the middle of the moor. A couple of benches provide an opportunity to enjoy the view of the lake. Along the wooden plank path you can find information about the moor and nature on some boards.

The unspoilt moor landscape around the Wildsee is the largest natural high moor area in Germany. The plateaus between the Sommerberg and Kaltenbronn have been designated as a nature reserve. In the middle of a huge forest area lies an unspoilt landscape with high and forest moors, cirques and block heaps. The high moors around the Kaltenbronn are something special, as all visitors know. But few also know that the plants and animals of the moors react sensitively to even the slightest change. Damage to this unique habitat is irreversible. As early as 1928, the Wildseemoor was declared a "protected forest". In the years 1939 and 1940 the nature reserves Wildseemoor and Hohlohsee were designated.
