It is not for nothing that the Schwarzachschlucht has been awarded the seal of quality “Bavaria’s most beautiful geotopes”. Through the gorge, where the small river pushes its way between the rocks, there is also a beautiful path that leads along the Schwarzach. Easy to walk on, sturdy shoes are recommended, the path leads past beautiful and bizarre rock formations, as well as two caves and a spring. Adventure playground for young and old.

You have to look at it with your own eyes. Images do not reflect it.

With a little imagination and from the right angle you can see a rock formation that looks very similar to a dragon's head.
To the Schwarzachklamm itself,
The Schwarzachklamm has been protected since 1936 and has been awarded the official seal of quality "Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes".
Along the Schwarzachschlucht you get to the "Gustav Adolf Cave" It got its name when the Swedish King attended here after a battle in the Thirty Years War (1632), a sermon of the Nuremberg Pastor Cornelius Mareius. On the ceiling of the cave is a tablet with an inscription describing this moment.
"Here he was"
