There are many stories about the Hirschsprung. But the fact is that you - whether on foot or by bike - are overwhelmed by the two huge mountains, through which you simply drive or walk through. Depending on where you're coming from, getting there can be a little more strenuous by bike, but it's definitely worth the drive through and the descent to visit this place.

According to legend, the deer jump got its name from a stag that jumped over this gorge, followed by a lynx.

The Hirschsprung Obermaiselstein is a gorge that was created by the erosion forces of the Breitach. According to legend, the deer jump got its name from a stag that jumped over this gorge, followed by a lynx. The motif of a stag jumping over a ravine is therefore also the coat of arms of the municipality of Obermaiselstein.
