ヘロルシュタットの峡谷・トップ18

The narrow gorge is beautiful. The steps should be used with caution when wet or, for example, when covered with damp autumn leaves.

scenically beautiful

Nice corner

For those who aren't familiar with the abbreviation "FFH" used by 'Steffen GXY ...' in his post: It's a "Flora-Fauna-Habitat Area," named after a Europe-wide EU law for nature and landscape conservation from 1992. Its official name is "Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora," which adequately describes its purpose. To be designated as such an FFH area, specific requirements must be met to ensure that the flora and fauna in this habitat can be protected. In Germany alone, there are already more than four and a half thousand FFH areas.

Beautiful valley with little traffic

The cave is under video surveillance and accessible. You can get pretty deep inside. Don't forget your flashlight. Very pleasant in hot temperatures.

Wildly romantic section from the Bärental cave to the Bärental refuge. The elevation gain is repeatedly achieved via stone steps. You should be a little careful along the entire section when it is wet (danger of slipping⚠). In some sections the vegetation was very thick.

Away from the road lies the Urdonautal and gives you the opportunity to explore it on good asphalt. For Gravellers there is also the egg or other detour. It can be crowded at times on weekends.
