If you find the entrance you can walk the entire gorge from the bottom to the top. At the top, of course, is the most beautiful waterfall that you can see from above when you drive up the steep climb. It is definitely worth it.

Location and history: The Tiefklinge is located about 600 m -700 m west of Lichtenwald-Hegenlohe, at the intersection of the Seeteichweg and the Tiefklingenweg. the deep blade, like every blade, has a small notched valley caused by water and debris erosion and usually side valleys of larger valleys. They form short, narrow, but steep valleys without a valley floor. The further deepening through erosion and receding erosion is mainly caused by the water from rivulets and streams and their gradient and can still be observed today. Erosion, sedimentation and transport are mutually dependent. The name "Klinge" for small notched valleys is said to come from the noise of the streams during high water. Another interpretation says that the valleys were struck as if by blades. In the whole of south-west Germany, including the Swabian and Franconian Jura, small notched valleys are known as the Klinge, Tobel and Klammen. As the name suggests, the deep blade is a deeper blade. The Deep Blade is also the habitat of the midwife toad. Source: partly Wikipedia

Location and history: The Katzenbachtal is located between the towns of Hohengehren and Lichtenwald in the conservation area of middle Schurwald. But it is not as you might think, that the Katzenbach also flows there. No, the upper part of the Reichenbach flows there in the Katzenbachtal. The Katzenbach valley begins where the Riedwiesenbach flows into the Reichenbach and ends where the Eitisbach also flows into the Reichenbach. The Katzenbachtal is an idyllic valley along the upper Reichenbach and has a length of about 1.87 km In the vernacular, this upper part of the Reichenbach is still called Katzenbach today. Unfortunately, it is not known why he is called Katzenbach.

A great waterfall here in the middle of the forest, but it goes up steeply but otherwise it would be boring 😎
