Highlight • Structure

Here spring water flows from the well. However, since the water is not subjected to regular checks, it has been declared "Not drinking water".

Tufa Terraces at Tiefenstürmig

Highlight • Natural Monument

These tuff terraces of the Eggerbach are absolutely worth seeing, and of course they are most interesting when the water level is high after a lot of rain. If you …

Sinter Terraces of Tiefenstürmig

Highlight • Natural Monument

Worth seeing how the water flows down the natural cascades, especially in winter and when the green does not sprout so abundantly worth seeing

February 5, 2022,Egerbachquelle und Sinterterassen von Tiefenstürmig

Soderla made another nice hike. I didn't expect so many sinter terraces. But of course I was also happy about it 😁. However, once through the undergrowth and once across country because of the missing bridges. Because the Egerbach is carrying so much water at the moment, even waterproof shoes don't help 😊😊. A really great hike 👍👍👍👍

This spring tour had a lot to offer botanically: sparsely populated meadows full of primroses – soon meadow sage –, juniper slopes, old linden trees and fruit trees, a forest full of wild garlic and arum, countless flowers (e.g., a large patch full of mulberries) – all visible from the trail. The route takes twice as long as usual. Unfortunately, …

Because of the beautiful weather, I spontaneously decided to go on the next spring hike (the garden will have to wait a little longer for my green thumb 🤷🏻‍♀️). It was definitely worth it: The most wonderful weather made nature shine (I'm still in a color frenzy), the gorgeous trails where I didn't meet a soul, a welcome break spot …
