Beautiful gorge near the Triefenstein monastery. If it has rained heavily recently, the waterfalls are more visible.

The idyllically located "Hoher Felsen" waterfall of the Steppbach stream is located near the Trinity Chapel and the war memorial. In the Borkenrain area, the Steppbach stream plunges about 7 m down the so-called "Hoher Felsen" and is thus one of the highest waterfalls in the Tauber Valley.
