ヘルゲンスヴァイラーの峡谷・トップ17

The information panel at Hausbach describes the path along the stream and provides brief information about the surrounding area. It's helpful for orientation before continuing along the riverside path. A short, worthwhile stop without a significant detour.

The Hausbach Gorge near Weiler in the Allgäu region is a tranquil, nature-filled hike along a stream, featuring rushing water, steep walls, and pleasantly cool passages in summer. Paths and boardwalks lead along the Hausbach stream, which descends approximately 350 meters over a distance of about 5 km – the deeply carved section begins after about 30 minutes from the village center. Those who continue will reach the barbecue area and adventure playground (Schnellers) after about 1.5–2 hours, depending on their pace; the return journey can be made as a loop or simply back through the gorge.

Small waterfall on the Scheibenbach, shortly before the confluence with the Riedbach, which then forms the Scheidegger waterfalls.

The gorge is now open again and a visit is highly recommended

The trail is an absolute adventure. You have to climb over fallen trees several times and figure out how to navigate the furrows through which water flows into the stream. On the other hand, it's truly peaceful here, and the path, often crisscrossed with roots, is truly idyllic. You're always close to the Riedbach stream and can often discover beautiful gravel banks by the water and the occasional small waterfall. I'd say if you're a bit steady, it's doable and the trail is worth it.

Good condition

Very difficult and demanding trail. The path is not always visible and you sometimes have to go through very spongy waters. Only recommended if you are in very good shape and have sturdy shoes

Very challenging path, lots of mud
