Even though I was riding downhill and making fast progress, I had to slow down and head back! A real eye-catcher! Several streams originate on this side of the mountain and join the Dorfbach, which then flows through Spreitenbach.

On this forest path I found two waterfalls. They are heavily covered with branches and cannot be seen immediately. Sound of water caught my attention, I stopped and was surprised. I found two waterfalls there. Always a beautiful view of the Surbtahl.

There has to be a lot of water coming down from above to even see this “waterfall”.

From Tegerfelden towards Unterendingen, on the lowest forest road, I also found this waterfall! So hidden behind the fallen trees...

What little surprise was waiting for me? A small waterfall!!! Everything is still cloudy all around. I hear rushing water falling, over and over again. When everything is green again, I ask myself, what will we be able to see? Hear when the stream carries enough water.
