Wolf Gorge (Odenwald)

In 1866, the last wolf of the Odenwald was said to have been killed here. Carl Maria von Weber is said to have been inspired by this gorge to his opera "Der Freischütz". Every year Schlossfestspiele takes place at nearby Zwingenberg Castle.
As with the Margarethenschlucht applies here: when it rains from a simple path is a dangerously slippery path, the stream leads correspondingly much water. Good footwear is the prerequisite for an adventurous path over cane, roots and stone, over or through the stream. Interesting is the way up the stream, which you have to look for later to get back to the main path. You climb over fallen trees and often wade through the stream. In wet weather the day before, the path recomends right above the stream, past the castle walls.

A dreamlike gorge, through which a brook looks for its way over rocks, rock slides and under fallen trees.
Here you will find a photo motive on every corner!

Sad is that the gorge is almost directly on a main road,
from the no noise, but easily over a steep rise
(who ever has a few Sunday excursion stops) can be reached.
Sad?
Sad, is the garbage to have to leave behind some fellow human beings! You do not have to throw handkerchiefs and candy wrappers on the floor!
My request to all readers, take a small (garbage) bag from home with you on every hike and collect at least on the way the garbage that you can still pick up in your hand, carry home and dispose of.
Anyone who picks up a 1-3 liter bag full of trash from nature will help with this!

THANK YOU!!!

Start at the castle and walk up. Then at the top go back down through the forest for spectacular views of the Neckar which you cannot see inside the gorge itself.
