The Heringsloch is a rather unspoiled path through lonely and wildly romantic gorges. The moss-grown sandstones and branched roots in the context of the forest could almost serve as a filming location for "The Lord of the Rings" and appear in the mist in an almost romantic mystique.The way leads and is above all stones and steps carved into the sandstone Moisture through the rough sandstone very sure-footed.

A beautiful valley-probably not so crowded.The best time is but probably if everything is nice green (May to October) -mich has impressed me already in the winter! Here I want to go back!

Fantastic descent path from the Roßsteig (Affensteinkammweg) down to the Zeughaustrasse or directly to the Hinteres Raubschloss (on the Winterstein).
