The dream loop trail leads through the Eva-Loch gorge, initially along narrow paths and over a small footbridge uphill. This water-rich, wooded section feels tranquil, natural, and particularly pristine.

📍 Hidden on the Nohen Nahe Loop A small but beautiful waterfall that winds its way through rock and forest. Especially in wet weather—like today with drizzle—the Haubertsbach stream appears vibrant, clear, and powerful. Surrounded by moss and leaves, it creates an almost magical atmosphere. 💡 Tip: Be sure to stop and listen. The waterfall is easy to miss, but the sound is hard to miss. Ideal for a nature photo or simply to enjoy.
