エッシェンバッハの峡谷・トップ13

Entry into the Teufelklinge gorge, where the path becomes much more rustic and original from here on and is not always easy to walk.

Well, romantic is different... horses, horseflies and tall grass.

When it rains heavily, everything gets washed away; the slope is perfect for that.

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?

Beautiful path on the Teufelsklingenbach with some “rakes”

It doesn't get any better than HAm described - the entire 2 km long section is pure adventure, but please be careful - it's not entirely safe either, as it's partly steep on greasy ground and - even worse - steep goes down.

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.
