Entrance to the 19 Holes Waterfalls (Nassau, Taunus)

Highlight • Waterfall

A beautiful hike through a truly special valley. From Dörsbach, the trail ascends in numerous steps through the gorge, past many "waterfalls" over which the Wäschbach stream carves its way through the steep valley. Not a hike for beginners!

Beautiful, even if not long! Nevertheless, the walk down this wonderful gorge back to the Dörsbach was worth it!

Arnstein Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Nice climb, unfortunately on asphalt. From there you can either go through the Dörsbachtal to Singhofen or just get there. The monastery is also worth a short stay. Especially in summer it is worth visiting the cool walls.
