With the bikes we went to theknopfelstaler pond and from there on to the currently very magnificent waterfall on the Sophienweg. Back to the pond we went over the wide bottom and the dark hole.

A great hike from the former Auerhahn in Stützerbach through nature. There is a wonderful waterfall 👍 on the way and lots of plants and herbs👍.
The path is highly recommended, even on a Sunday or with the family, as it is easily accessible and totally varied 🍀☀️🌲past several lakes that were previously used to transport wood.👍
