The gorge was cut through for the construction and maintenance of the pressure pipe made of riveted iron sheet that ran through the gorge to a power station below. In 1905, the path over paths and footbridges through the gorge was opened to the public for hikers and has been an important tourist destination for decades.

Steel pipes to the power plant that are over 100 years old.
With the construction of a damming barrier on the water at the entrance to the gorge to generate hydropower, the Staufensee was created or expanded for the first time in 1861. The gorge was passed through for the construction and maintenance of the pressure pipe made of sheet iron, which was riveted through the gorge to a power plant below. In 1905, the path along paths and footbridges through the gorge was opened to the public for hikers and has been an important tourist destination for decades.
