ディートラムスツェルの峡谷・トップ7

A beautiful piece of nature. The Kirchseemoorrunde is a highly recommended hike.

A version of the various legends about the Teufelsgraben can be read here: https://www.sagen.at/texte/sagen/deutschland/bayern/isarwinkel/teufelsgraben.html In fact, the ditch was created by debris from the Karwendel Mountains clogging the course of the Isar and the meltwater had to find an alternative route at the end of the Würm Ice Age. It hollowed out the area west of Holzkirchen here. In the cool and often damp sea of trees in the Teufelsgraben you can go hiking and running. The valley stretches roughly in a northwesterly direction from Kirchsee to Grub over a total of 23 kilometers.

This small valley is part of the Gleißental. From the Deininger Weiher there is a drain first on the surface, which then seeps away. It has its source on the southern edge of Oberhaching as the Hachinger Bach.

About eight kilometers long, mostly wooded terrain in the Bavarian foothills of the Alps between Föggenbeuern near Dietramszell and Egling, although I have not marked the piece between Egling and Thanning (because it is a road). You can roll wonderfully in both directions here, sometimes wider, sometimes narrower, sometimes rooty and there are also short pieces of tar. The incision begins south of Föggenbeuern and meanders six kilometers almost due north, turning west near Fraßhausen and Wörschhausen. From here, at the beginning of the 18th century, the abbot of the Schäftlarn monastery created the three ponds in Thanning for fish farming. These are fed by the Moosbach, which rises in the Reichertshauser valley a few hundred meters above the first pond in the Frauenholz area. The valley ends in Egling.

Every year the peat layer grows by around 1 millimeter, so that a peat layer of around 10 m and more has formed since the end of the last ice age 15,000 years ago.

This devil's ditch was always an obstacle for people, because roads, paths and railway lines had to overcome this deeply cut valley. For a water pipeline to Munich, a 91 m long and 19 m high aqueduct even had to be built in 190.

The deep gorge and the narrow Kirchseebach do not fit together at first glance, because how can such a brook form such a gorge? The ravine was therefore believed to have been the work of the devil who is said to have personally excavated the ravine. It has been scientifically proven that the Teufelsschlucht is a glacial valley that was created around 20,000 years ago by the enormous meltwater from the Isar glacier.
