Hidden, enchanted and overgrown, the Heissbach Gorge lies in the Kleine Wiesental valley.

A great trail that is accessible to all ages

A much more interesting section of path than the Talweg alongside the railway

Beautifully situated on a slope and rock, sufficiently overgrown towards the road so that the visual impression is not diluted by the nearby settlement. Some tunnels and bizarre crevices are evidence of early commercial use.

Wildly romantic gorge - sturdy shoes required ...

Water, rocks, trees, moss Pure nature. The forest path turns into a trail that leads us along the bank of a small pond. I feel the coolness of the damp forest floor through the soles of my Five Finger shoes. It's a pleasant sensation. I walk more consciously, more slowly, and with more intensity than I would with sturdy hiking boots. And the fact that my feet get wet, as they do here when crossing this small stream, doesn't bother me at all. Quite the opposite. It refreshes and invigorates not only my feet, but my entire body.

We start our hike to the Heissbach Gorge in the mountain village of Sallneck at 611 meters above sea level at the Hirschen inn. While there is a lot of activity on the Hirschen on this Sunday afternoon, all parking spaces are occupied by cars and even a coach is parked in front of the inn, the hustle and bustle gets lost after only a few meters. We enjoy the silence and wonderful views of pastures and forests. From the hiking sign at the deer we follow the marking of the yellow diamond in the direction of the Heissbach Gorge. Only a few minutes later the hiking trail leads us down into a forest. Rocks, stones and trees covered with moss surround us. The torrent of the Köhlgartenwiese murmurs a few meters below. Again and again we run our hands over the soft moss that surrounds the tree trunks like a protective coat.

a geological mining trail with an information board is laid out along this path. Interesting information about rocks and history. The two-castle path (Etzenbacherhöhe) was created on the opposite side.
