Tips

The Rumpelbach Gorge is a small sandstone gorge near the Altdorf district of Röthenbach. It is also called the Röthenbach Gorge after the Röthenbach, which flows into the Pegnitz near the town of Röthenbach and at whose upper reaches the rocky notch is located. You never stop learning. 👍

In the small but wildly romantic gorge, the Röthenbach flows for a length of around 300 meters, partly between heavily weathered sandstone rock formations up to five meters high. At the entrance to the gorge close to the town of Röthenbach, the stream has created a small waterfall; the river falls three meters here, sliding down two small steps. In the adjoining rock sections, impressive washouts, small caves and weathering can be found, and further along there are also remains of earlier rockfalls. The sandstone banks of the upper Keuper are clearly visible on the impact slopes and other outcrops. In the wide valley below the gorge, the stream meanders in wide curves.

NATURAL MONUMENT!! Please treat it with respect.

If you like it a little more adventurous, this is the right place for you. The route is sometimes not clear, we had to cross the stream several times. Felt light canyoning 🙌🏻

Rubber boots for crossing would be good
