June 6, 2026, Entrance to the Wässernachtal

The path is unfortunately currently anything but glorious. Fallen trees, steep slopes, and the path has been partially washed away by the rain

Unfortunately, in recent years, I have always driven along there at low water levels. I have never seen such a beautiful waterfall as in the first picture. Nevertheless, a beautiful area.

Even now in spring, there's hardly any water flowing; you can simply drive through.

Absolutely recommended! There are always places here where the four-legged friends can cool off in hot temperatures.

Here you can simply enjoy the peace and quiet and your eyes will have plenty to marvel at. With a small blanket you can make yourself comfortable here in the Wässernachtal and catch a few rays of sunshine.
