It is one of those deeply cut ditches/chrachen in the Napf region. And this one with the small fountain is definitely one of the most impressive. You keep thinking: there's no way you can go any further now. And yet you then go around a rock into a new section of the valley.

You walk or drive behind the waterfall. A second one is developing to the right...it is very wet and muddy and slippery. So be careful not to slip

Very eroded path, but still quite good to drive. Due to the amount of water always quite wet there.

Absolutely brilliant passage with a fairly steep descent and then an extremely steep ascent on a stony road. But it can be driven with an eBike and some technology.
