Nice end to a tour, especially attractive for children. Be careful when crossing highway 252!

The Tonnissteiner Bach created this wonderful gorge and waterfall over time by digging through the trass.

A relatively small waterfall, but very beautiful and idyllic. The water falls/flows down the mountain almost in cascades.

The waterfall flows into a basin. In addition, the square is designed with tables made from former millstones from the mill in the Hähnerbachtal and benches. Unfortunately, it has been lying on the road since the 1920s.

The Wolfsschlucht is something special, a spectacle of nature a brook that has washed itself in the stone. This gorge is also interesting for geology.
