Top 12 Waterfalls around Bad Teinach-Zavelstein

The Xanderklinge is a forest gorge, just over a kilometer long, running west-southwest from right into the Nagold in the northeastern Black Forest. It lies predominantly within the municipal area of Calw in the district of Calw in Baden-Württemberg. The stream that runs through it originates slightly above the gorge on the plateau and is almost two kilometers long until it flows into the Nagold. The stream through the Xanderklinge originates in a permanently open channel at the northern edge of Calw-Holzbronn, off the K 4301, at approximately 498 m above sea level (NHN), as a ditch next to an soon-to-be grassy farm track, and runs its first good 300 meters between fields approximately westward. It is then dammed into a 0.4 ha fire water pond with a shrub border and a small tree island. From here, it flows out in a west-southwesterly direction and plunges into its forest gorge, which has picturesquely cut itself into the red variegated sandstone of the Black Forest. With a steep gradient, it flows over several small waterfalls down to the Nagold. At the edge of the river floodplain, it is crossed by the Nagoldtalbahn railway and the federal highway B 463, and less than a hundred meters later, it flows into the middle Nagold at approximately 353 m above sea level (NHN) from the right, below the Talmühle, at the foot of Holzbronn. The stream flows into the Nagold after a 1.7 km long run with an average gradient of about 145 meters of elevation below its ditch start. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanderklinge

Monbach-Schlucht is a wildly romantic gorge in the northern Black Forest. The Monbach meanders through moss-covered rocks, small waterfalls, and dense forests. Narrow paths and stream crossings make the hike varied and close to nature. Especially on warm days, the gorge offers pleasant coolness. The route is popular with hikers and families. Surefootedness is helpful on wet stones and rooty paths. In spring and autumn, the landscape is particularly impressive and colorful.

It's most beautiful down by the creek, but there are many signs pointing out possible dangers of flooding after rainfall. I turned around at the waterfall as I was traveling alone.

Experienced the gorge with plenty of water for the first time today. Crossing the creek bed became an adventure.

The upper part of the gorge should be enjoyed with increased caution. Partly extremely slippery!

Short great gorge. Sure-footedness and basic fitness are required for the upper path. But there is also a workaround.

Beautiful trail along the Monbach - several times the path changes the side of the stream - this is usually only possible via stone steps - sure-footedness and good shoes are essential!

A piece of wilderness that is worth walking on and messing about with. Sturdy shoes and good coordination are recommended.
