ハイメンドルファーフォルストの峡谷・トップ20

and over the Röthenbach

a beautiful place where the bridge stands

Fantastic place, it's worth a detour

In the small but wildly romantic gorge, the Röthenbach flows over 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 drops three meters over two small steps. In the subsequent rock sections, impressive erosion, smaller caves and weathering can be found, and further along there are also remains of previous rock falls. The sandstone banks of the upper Keuper can be clearly seen on the impact slopes and other outcrops. In the wide Kerbsohlental below the gorge, the stream then meanders in wide arcs.

Always fascinating, sometimes more, sometimes less water and again completely different when you walk along the stream bed in dry weather

Beautifully shady paths lead through the gorge.

If you like it mystical and idyllic at the same time, you have to make the path at the Röthenbachklamm either on foot or by bike
