Here the water flows over moss-covered stones in several stages, forming a series of beautiful, natural cascades depending on the water level.

The Gelbachtal Trail near Witzenborn is a varied and natural section of the route, which particularly impresses with its combination of quiet forest paths, moderate climbs, and impressive views.

The path runs along the Gelbach stream in a natural setting and provides shade in the summer. It's interesting for hikers, cyclists, and mountain bikers.

The wide stone border along the bank is evidence of the old bathing area that once existed here. The entrance to the Lahn is very shallow at this point, almost halfway down the river. The channel for recreational boaters is located near the other bank. Swimming is still possible here today.
