エーバーゲッツェンの峡谷・トップ12

Very nice day with nice obstacles. Luckily no mountain bikers and amphibians in the stream that don't get run over

Very good for hiking

The rustic gorge, which is located in the side valley of the Rode Valley, is worth a visit and gives you the feeling of being in a natural jungle. However, the narrow hiking trail is muddy after rainfall. Sturdy shoes are recommended!

As others have written: The path is quite overgrown, sometimes you have to climb over fallen trees.

Overgrown path along the side arm that is currently dried out. The path partly not recognizable as such, also quite muddy. Good shoes and a willingness to climb should be included ...

The Mackenröder Trail is a fine single trail that meanders above the Mackenröder cliffs and sometimes leads very close to the edge of the cliff. You should drive carefully in these places in greasy, dirty weather. Overall, however, the trail is great to ride. There is only one very steep section that is a bit challenging. Tip for "biobikers": You should drive the trail north. It's more fun there, because it's mostly downhill and only has to be pedaled briefly uphill in a few places.

It's geologically very interesting here. The terrain is in motion. Over the years, material breaks off the steep face here and there, so that fortunately it shifts very slowly towards the west. Under the layer of lime is the red, that is the layer of the upper red sandstone. Red becomes slightly mushy with moisture. The weight of the limestone layer results in redness (earth glaciers), which can be guessed below the steep edge. The path along the cliffs is just fun. It is interspersed with roots and small slopes. There is still a safety distance to the edge of the steep face. I once received a cross-sectional sketch of the geological situation from Professor Dieter Meischner (†) privately. This is inserted under photos.

This route is really more of an obstacle course, but for anyone who likes obstacle courses this is really cool.
