ズューセンの峡谷・トップ20

The metal steps are part of the hiking trail through the wild and romantic Felsental valley, a section of the Lion's Trail "Geislinger Felsen-Tour." They are located at the end of the valley, where the valley narrows considerably and the rock faces rise steeply. The steps help you safely negotiate a particularly steep section.

Simply great, tall, wonderful rock format 🤩🤩🪨🪨🪨

Very nice route, the road is not very busy, in the direction of Geislingen the cycle path is gravelled and to the right of the road leads directly past the Roggenmühle, which has very good food.

The hiking sign indicated in Komoot does not exist and the path is never T1!

So, we would advise against it, or at least point out that this trail is "something special": the starting point was difficult to find in June 2024 and leads through stinging nettles. The first section isn't a path at all, but rather a traverse of mossy and slippery stones – essentially the streambed after heavy rain. The stream babbles further down, and there's a path to the left that initially seems pleasant, but can be quite slippery. This path becomes increasingly overgrown, often by very (!!!) large stinging nettles, and is sometimes barely visible. In any case, we didn't have a "dreamy" experience. Where the path crosses a road, we therefore left it and continued parallel to the road. From this intersection, the path remains barely discernible and overgrown. From the lower end, we didn't go back in the opposite direction; it was a perfectly good path there – but for how far?

Two steel ladders help to compensate for the difference in height. In summer you often see bikers carrying their MTB shoulders and conquering these ladders.

This is indeed a ravine that can flood during heavy rain on the Kuchalb plateau! In damp conditions, the rock slabs can be somewhat slippery. The upper access point is somewhat hidden near the Kuchalb hiking parking lot and ends at the Längental biotope.

A stop at the Obere Roggenmühle is recommended. There are fresh trout there - closed on Monday and Tuesday.
