レーン・グラープフェルトの峡谷・トップ8

Below the Sandberg sports field, take the gravel road downhill, keep right (!) before the ranch, and follow the old field paths. According to BayernAtlas, there are actually three, the top one leading down to the St2288.

Beautiful, secluded valley between Sandberg and Schmalwasser 😺

A beautiful piece of nature. Highly recommended.

www.biosphaere-rhoen.de Information from panel no. 2 Eisgraben - cold wind, natural forests The water of the Aschelbach, which flows over and between the basalt blocks of the Eisgraben, comes from the Black Moor on top of the Hohe Rhön - one of the last intact raised bogs in Germany. Cold air also flows from there down the valley channel. The Eisgraben owes its name to this, because it ensures that the frost lasts here well into spring. Large areas of the Eisgraben are designated as a natural forest reserve and enjoy special protection as a core zone of the UNESCO Rhön Biosphere Reserve. Leaving the moor, the Aschelbach initially meanders quietly through the landscape and finally plunges down a 4-meter-high waterfall. When it enters the forest, the stream is then called Eisgraben. It meanders between the trees and in places drops steeply by up to 10 meters on the side. Every spring, the floods of melting snow transform the narrow summer stream into a raging torrent that cuts ever deeper into the ground. An extreme storm on July 26, 1834 gave the Eisgraben its current appearance. Torrential rain caused a massive landslide that buried the town of Hausen. The catastrophe washed out brown coal in some places, which was then mined. A considerable system of tunnels was created. However, the brown coal was still quite young and therefore of poor quality, so mining was soon stopped. The women's cave is located in the lower part of the Eisgraben. At this point, the water has dug a 50-meter-long and 20-meter-deep cave into the rock. According to legend, this cave was a refuge for the women from the hamlet of Hillenberg in times of trouble. Today, the cave is no longer accessible. Also nearby are a hunter's hut and the ruins of Hildenburg.

Beautiful grotto above Schönau

Impressive natural spectacle of water, very worth seeing and interesting, great location

Beautiful windy grotto just outside of Schönau.

The Aschelbach, which comes from the Rhön high plateau, has created the deep valley of the Eisgraben here. There is a reason for the name Eisgraben: the cool stream water and the accompanying cold air currents ensure that the temperature along the stream is a few degrees lower than in the surrounding area.
