バートブライジグの峡谷・トップ17

Many people combine a hike in the Kasbach Valley with a ride on the historic Kasbach Valley Railway. The railway line runs just over 20 kilometers from Linz am Rhein up the valley that gives the valley its name to Kalenborn (Westerwald). From there, you can enjoy a relaxing hike down through the beautiful, sometimes wild and romantic, countryside.

The Devil's Bone is a cooled lava flow whose bizarre shape was created by volcanic processes and erosion.

👌🏼🥾🥾It's like a playground for adults - a wildly romantic outdoor feeling 🌊📸 Spectacular trass walls from the former volcanic eruption🌋. 🌊📸A great photo location📸

You have to leave the Quellenweg for a short while, but it is worth visiting this place.

About 200,000 years ago, a volcanic vent opened up north of Wehr am Hüttenberg, throwing out loose volcanic material. During and after the eruption, there were violent storms caused by the hot gas column meeting the cold atmosphere. Rainfall combined the volcanic ash, the weathered clay of the Devonian rocks and shattered material into a muddy mass. This mud flow poured through the valley of the Wirrbach towards the Brohltal, sloshed up the Bausenberg slope (the volcanic mountain did not yet exist at that time) and flowed on to Burgbrohl.

The train ride with the historic rail bus from Linz to Kalenborn and the hike from there through the Kasbachtal back to Linz are highly recommended.

After the Trass caves, which are very easy to walk through, the volcano and panoramic trail awaits you with a challenging climb. In some sections, the trail is secured with ropes.

An almost alpine climb. Closed from November to February inclusive for safety reasons.
