Forellensprung Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Forellensprung is a waterfall near Langenberg (Welzheim). Here the Burgsteigklingenbach falls five meters over a hard limestone bank of the lower Stubensandstein.

The waterfall was created by flow-related erosion. When the Upper Rhine Graben collapsed in the geological epoch of the Tertiary, the now greatly deepened river position of the Rhine formed a much stronger erosion base for the waters flowing into the Rhine. The consequences were a much greater erosion of the streams and rivers, which explains the valleys, gorges and blades that are typical today. This is how the many geological natural monuments in the Welzheimer Forest came about. Geologically similar to the Forellensprung are the waterfalls at the Laufenmühle, cascading over the same hard sandstone base. Given the height, it is unlikely that trout should have climbed the waterfall.

October 18, 2025,💧🌲🍄🍁Wasserfall Forellensprung – Forellensprung und goldener Blätterwald - Runde von Steinenberg

Unfortunately, contrary to expectations, the sun barely came out, but it did warm us up briefly, just in time for our picnic. Mushrooms galore, but unfortunately, the fly agaric didn't show up again. A beautiful hike near Rudersberg with stunning autumn colors, rustling leaves underfoot, and a small waterfall. 🤗🍂🍁🍄🌲👌
