You can see the waterfall up in the bushes to the edge of the cliff and further down from the bridge. Next to the bridge there is also a path that leads directly to the waterfall with its great tree roots. You can't get any closer than that.

The Ezach water adventure trail with canal is a beautiful adventure trail with no significant inclines through the town of Pfullingen. It mostly leads along small paths along the water. Sometimes the Ezach flows wildly over waterfalls and is clearly audible.

The Käsenbach is a stream in Tübingen, which rises on the Wannen and flows into the Ammer. The undeveloped middle slope zones of the Käsenbach valley are a special feature of Tübingen. During the expansion of the settlement from the old town of Tübingen to the adjacent plateaus, these steep hillside areas were largely spared. The valley near the city center is still preserved in all its beauty today.
