ヴァンゲンの峡谷・トップ10

The Katzenbachtal is also very nice for an extensive hike.

A beautiful valley with beautiful paths.

Location and history: The Tiefklinge is located about 600 m -700 m west of Lichtenwald-Hegenlohe, at the intersection of the Seeteichweg and the Tiefklingenweg. the deep blade, like every blade, has a small notched valley caused by water and debris erosion and usually side valleys of larger valleys. They form short, narrow, but steep valleys without a valley floor. The further deepening through erosion and receding erosion is mainly caused by the water from rivulets and streams and their gradient and can still be observed today. Erosion, sedimentation and transport are mutually dependent. The name "Klinge" for small notched valleys is said to come from the noise of the streams during high water. Another interpretation says that the valleys were struck as if by blades. In the whole of south-west Germany, including the Swabian and Franconian Jura, small notched valleys are known as the Klinge, Tobel and Klammen. As the name suggests, the deep blade is a deeper blade. The Deep Blade is also the habitat of the midwife toad. Source: partly Wikipedia

Location and history: The Katzenbachtal is located between the towns of Hohengehren and Lichtenwald in the conservation area of middle Schurwald. But it is not as you might think, that the Katzenbach also flows there. No, the upper part of the Reichenbach flows there in the Katzenbachtal. The Katzenbach valley begins where the Riedwiesenbach flows into the Reichenbach and ends where the Eitisbach also flows into the Reichenbach. The Katzenbachtal is an idyllic valley along the upper Reichenbach and has a length of about 1.87 km In the vernacular, this upper part of the Reichenbach is still called Katzenbach today. Unfortunately, it is not known why he is called Katzenbach.

Short stairs that facilitate the ascent or descent to the rascal blade. The path is very slippery when wet.

In front of the actual stairs there is a short metal walkway, which can be quite slippery when wet or snowy.

Be sure to use sturdy shoes and have children splash around

Impressive, you can already see that in the photos. We got through the blade from below. This is especially better when it is also slippery.
