Brühlbach Stream

Highlight • River

At night you can even go without a flashlight. The path is just enough that you do not stumble and you can orient yourself by mirroring the stars in the water where the stream is.

Brühlbach Stream Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

From the Maisental parking lot, the trail continues along the Brühlbach stream. It's also wheelchair-accessible up to the steps in front of the Urach Waterfall. The numerous cascades in the stream and the crystal-clear water make the trail truly enjoyable. On weekends, it's advisable to set off early, as it gets quite crowded after lunchtime.

Stepped Path to Urach Waterfall

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

On nice days it gets so crowded that you have to queue, which is a bit too much for me personally.

Urach Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Urach Waterfall is one of the absolute highlights of the Swabian Alb and, with a total drop of 37 meters in several stages, is one of the highest waterfalls in Germany outside the Alps. It is particularly impressive when the snow melts or after heavy rain, because then a lot of water flows. Together with the very humid and therefore dense and green forest all around, you almost feel like you have been transported to another world. There is a hut at the top of the waterfall where you can get food.

View from Hohenurach Castle over Bad Urach and the Erm Valley

Highlight • Castle

A fascinating view of Urach and the Ermstal. From up there you can still see where the city walls used to stand in Urach.
