The Hermannschlucht (Hermann Gorge) is the local name for the wild, rocky, wooded valley through which the Hermannsbach (also known as the Hermesbach) stream flows. It lies within the municipality of Mistelbach, west of Bayreuth, and is part of the Franconian Switzerland region. The gorge is known for its pristine and enchanting natural beauty. The stream has carved deep into the layers of Rhaetian sandstone, exposing bizarre rock formations. Impressive cross-bedding and weathering features can be found here.
