오버튜링겐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 협곡

Since the floods in spring 2023, access to the ravine has been blocked by a wooden gate. Why the closure was never lifted is beyond me, as the path and bridge are now fully accessible again.

Somewhat hidden and inconspicuous, this grotto is hidden in the small forest.

The bridge is no longer there. When there is a lot of water, it is not possible to cross the stream (unless you take your shoes off and walk through it - that worked fine). When there is little water, according to locals, there are large stones and a wire rope to hold on to, which make it possible to cross at that point.

Great ravine, then there's a bridge, at first you think you can't get there and then there are stairs, be careful when walking, they are a bit steep. Also be careful with the bridge, there is a beam missing.

The changes in nature become visible over the years. More or less water, fallen trees or new stones in the river. The forest above is beautifully covered with leaves in autumn.

Great wild and romantic ravine. Beautiful circular hike from the Schmalegg sports field past the waterfall and then in front of the Buttenmühle over the footbridge and up the stairs and up at the edge of the forest to the left and then through another beautiful ravine back to the starting point.

The Virgin Mary, who is depicted and venerated here, is that of Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by a large number of people every year, including many sick people who are hoping for a cure. The devotional image of Our Lady has become widespread - not only in France - Lourdes chapels and graves were built by believers everywhere. The ecclesiastical commemoration day "Our Lady in Lourdes" is on February 11th, this is the anniversary of the apparition of Mary (1858), when Our Lady appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto not far from Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of only 35. On December 8th (the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary) in 1933, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI. The day of remembrance of the Lourdes Madonna is also World Day of the Sick.

Nice area and without any effort
