Wieslauf Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Due to the drought, the waterfall currently has little water. Otherwise definitely imposing.

A hike through the Wieslauf Gorge on narrow, slippery paths, some of which run directly alongside steep cliffs, is adventurous, at times even difficult. However, this makes the Wieslauf Gorge …

June 3, 2023,Wieslaufschlucht – Strümpfelbacher-Wasserfall Runde von Laufenmühle
Super nice tour. Mainly in the forest and along the water. Therefore also recommended in hot weather. Just enjoy nature! Small waterfalls, bridges, paths and pure nature. The Ebnisee then invites you to eat and drink. Or just to cool off. After that comes a nice way to finish the tour.

Varied, wooded, and always close to water
This hike offers a very diverse flora. It follows two streams, across meadows, and through forested sections to Lake Ebnisee. Here, you can stop for refreshments at a restaurant. The route then follows the water's edge back to the starting point. However, the elevation gain is barely noticeable, especially on the way to …

Very nice hike in the Swabian-Franconian forest. The paths are demanding, slippery due to the very damp and boggy ground and you have to be careful not to smear 😅 There are many wooden stairs and bridges installed to make it easier to walk.

The tour was on May 1st. We went to Welzheim. The plan was to go to the Wieslaufschlucht. But ☝☝ there was something there. It's closed because of the floods last year. OK, something should be done there. Lots of brave hikers who took on the challenge went through the gorge. We followed. Some gave up. Yvonne and I made …

It all started with the adventure trail, which was amazing, also saw deer. I didn't know what was coming. On the way back, an old lady spoke to me, around 90 years old, because she saw that I was looking for the way where I would like to go. I said back to the car at the Klingenmühle parking lot. …

Grandiose natural gorge tour with great paths and bridges. Cheers to the Wegmacher 👏. Really great and highly recommended!
However very muddy + slippery! You should be surefooted!
The way back from the Ebnisee to the Wieslauf is a normal forest path and easy to walk.

Adventurous tour to Ebnisee. Beautiful gorge with many bridges. Which were still very icy.
From Ebnisee to Laufenmühle back on the cycle path.

(May 2025): The route from "Eins und Alles" to the Strümpfelbachtal entrance should be done by road. The Wieslauftal in this section is still quite damaged by the 2024 floods; there are virtually no developed paths or stream crossings, and slipping is common on the steep sections. There are still quite a few trees lying across the old paths, where …
