The small stream flows over the bare rock here. The humus layer has been completely removed. The water cascades down almost like a waterfall. Circular hiking trail 2 from Sophiental leads past here. You can take a detour from circular hiking trail 5.

We came to Grassemannsbachtal quite by accident and were totally surprised. the stream flows hidden in the forest and over stones. Nice and cool in today's heat. Very romantic!! Worth the effort to seek out the small trail.

Small, beautiful waterfall in Sophienthal, just stop. It's over far too quickly.

A few relics of the former iron mining in this region can still be seen around the rest of the stream. The reddish stream water also indicates the high iron content

Found by ear close to the path. At this time of year it rustles enormously.

Very nice path - but not ridable with a mountain bike. For hiking only!
