Wieslaufschlucht

Also in winter a fairytale trail through the Wieslaufschlucht. Good footwear is mandatory, otherwise it will be difficult.

A walk through the Wieslaufschlucht on narrow, slippery, sometimes directly on steep slopes along leading paths is adventurous, sometimes even difficult. But this makes the Wieslaufschlucht a unique, exciting experience. The beautifully embedded in the green of the forest blade mill and a waterfall cascading over several stages are other impressive highlights.

We went the Wieslaufschlucht upstream from Klaffenbach in the direction of Welzheim. Either way a real highlight in the Welzheimer forest. Partially (and I think that's great) are fallen trees across the way. A little bit of bracing offers additional adventure. Good shoes I would recommend. In damp weather or in winter actually a must in this valley.

Hiked through the gorge today. Parts of the route were washed away by the rain yesterday. At one point the path has been undermined by the water of the Wieslauf and slipped. Elsewhere, a large boulder appears to have slipped down, damaging the path. In the course of the stream itself, driftwood and even whole tree trunks have hacked and collected in places. Likewise, the long wooden bridge on the erosion slope below the Klingenmühle was completely swept aside, making it impossible to cross the Wieslauf. Then had to cross it. But it was still very interesting to see the Wieslauf after the heavy rain with a lot of water and especially the effects.Update: 09/29/2020.
The bridge was restored today when we walked through the gorge again.

Quaint gorge on natural trails

Run yesterday (01/30/2021). Pretty bad road conditions. Some fallen trees have to be climbed over them. Everything is slippery and wet. Ice and snow.
Otherwise it's really nice there. Bring time to take good pictures. 😀
There is a small part at Laufenmühle that is still easy to manage. With a bridge over Wieslauf.

Unfortunately, the waterfalls and the paths to them are closed due to Corona.

very impressive, but as already mentioned, good shoes are mandatory and I also recommend poles

Winter wonderland at snow. Also feasible in snow with good footwear.

Can Artedain only agree
 Am on 25.05. In 2019 we walked through this beautiful gorge. The way is definitely worth it. But good shoes and hiking poles are useful.
We wanted to stop at the Kilngenmühle but were scared by a very unfriendly host. So we hiked on to the walking mill.

It is wild, the deeply cut blade, which is surprising given the shallow stream. Primal forces still seem to be at work here. The sluggish brook is hardly able to move the mikado of the transverse tree trunks or the boulders in the brook bed. It flows gently and peacefully along its creek bed, as if to emphasize the contrast to the raw beauty of the steep slopes.

The part of the Wieslaufschlucht down from the Klingenmühle is a very nice way, if it was wet in the last few days, the way is quite muddy and good shoes are highly recommended.

The famous "Wiesenlaufschlucht" is located near Welzheim, Waiblingen district, Baden-Württemberg.
- it belongs to the large nature reserve "Wieslaufschlucht and Edenbachschlucht" (approx. 42 ha)
- Sure-footedness and sturdy shoes are highly recommended, possibly hiking poles
- This gorge is very busy on weekends and during the holiday season or when the weather is great!
- Depending on the season or weather, the state of the trail

Very nice, great air, but also very slippery when it rained in front of it. Sturdy shoes and sticks are recommended.

Beautiful natural trails. After rain it can be very mushy and slippery.

Great hike on natural trails. Very slippery in the gorge after rain.

Very nice in every season. The blade mill is open from April.

Adventurous, mystical route with a high fun factor and surrounded by beautiful nature.

A very nice view of the brook, although the brook has little water at the moment due to the drought.

Very impressive. Really nice paths and trails. It's worth it!
