We, Christa and I, love when being out for business reasons to add something to make the travel even more worthy. This time we chose the Almbachklamm (Almbach Gorge).
We started out at the ball mill and from there entered the gorge. The water powered ball mill originally was build to make canon balls from marble. Today they make it for tourists and you can see how they are made.
We enter the gorge and are soon blown away by what (just) water can do over time. It carved deep into the rock – and with all the powerful waterfalls (small and big) it is very loud. The path rises steeply and many stairs had to be build.
We took plenty time to look and take pictures – and eventually had to leave the gorge before reaching the madonna upstream as we wanted to visit the little church at Ettenberg. The path was extremely steep now. It was worth it – this church is very beautiful. We had a light meal at the restaurant next door and than returned to the mill – another extremely steep path, downwards this time.
It has been a rainy day. We did enjoy it! Only 2 or 3 other visitors have been in there that day. And of cause Christa got herself a marble ball after returning to the mill, even 2 of them …
If you want to have a little deeper experience have a look at this video. Christa put her experience in a different form – like a poem – which I added to this video as well.
What a wonderful Video !
When I heard the water, I felt to be in the gorge again.
There are so many different streams coming down and every one has an other sound, an other movement and an other way through the rocks. That all you can see on this video! Thank you, Michael !
OMG! That was a really nice experience! Thanks for sharing
