Very beautiful natural stream valley with a waterfall worth seeing as a highlight. The Dortebach valley is definitely worth a visit.

What a wonderful route through this wild and romantic valley! Like in fairy tales! However, nothing for people with fear of heights, as I had to discover with my companion after the waterfall ... somehow we made it up. I thought it was great here, he probably not ;-)
