Hike to the Steinerne Rinne near Wolfsbronn in the Altmühltal Nature Park

The Steinerne Rinne near Wolfsbronn is a stone trough made of lime tuff on the Hahnenkamm. It is located near Wolfsbronn in the district of Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen in central Franconia.
The channel water flows, after a piping located below the gutter, in the Wolfsbronner Mühlbach, a southwestern tributary of Meinheimer Mühlbach.
The channel is about 130 meters long and up to 160 centimeters high, moss-grown Kalktuffrinne.
The width of the base is up to 160 centimeters and the width of the top edge up to 90 centimeters. The water rises above the source horizon of a spring pot, which is located in an approximately seven-meter-deep source niche.
After about 30 meters of flat course of the stream leaves the source niche and forms the Steinerne Rinne. The meandering channel is broken by several smaller waterfalls.
The dam itself lies on a vaulted tuff pile.
This is initially quite narrow and thin, but is downhill up to 60 meters wide and extends to 8 feet deep in the ground.
This largely invisible part has been created in millennia by constant shifting of the stream bed.
