Lotenbach Bridge, wooden bridge in the Southern Black Forest Nature Park

Highlight • Bridge

Without the many footbridges, not much would have been possible in the gorges here

Räuberschlössle rock formation and view over the Wutach Gorge

Highlight • Natural Monument

Without the name tag "Räiberschlössle" you almost walk past it. But if you then take the secured path around the rock, it turns out to be hollow: a large space …

At this point the Rötenbach comes out of its narrow gorge and flows directly into the Wutach. You can also explore the Rötenbachklamm on a narrow hiking trail. Sure-footedness and waterproof, sturdy shoes are mandatory here.

Confluence of Haslach and Gutach (Source of the Wutach)

Highlight • River

At the confluence of the Haslach and Gutach to form the Wutach, there is a bench that invites you to linger in this energetic, idyllic place. Watch, relax, enjoy the living power of the water and draw strength for yourself.

Rake rock

Highlight • Gorge

The valley suddenly becomes a gorge and the water squeezes through the rocks. A fantastic sight! Probably one of the most mystical places in the southern Black Forest.

December 31, 2022,Felsenrunde 🥾🥾🌤️

Today there was a self-planned round starting through the Lothenbachklamm - really nice 🤗
Afterwards we hiked along a section of the gorge trail again and in an arc back to the car.
Even if the tour wasn't as spectacular as the last few days, it had many highlights that were worth seeing 👍🏻🤩

October 18, 2024,Schwarzwald: Haslachschlucht - Wutachschlucht - Lotenbachklamm, Runde von Lenzkirch

From Löffelschmiede take the bus to Lotenbachklamm, then continue on foot.
There are a few parking spaces opposite the bus stop. The bus runs every hour during the week. Of course you can also walk the 10 km through the forest 🏃‍♀️ 😅

The Wutach Gorge: I've heard a lot about it, and now I'm finally there.

Today I took the bus from Bonndorf to Löffelschmiede near Lenzkirch. From there over an old railway embankment to the entrance to the Haslach Gorge. Along the Haslach to where the Wutach is formed from Haslach and Gutach. Along the Wutach in the direction of Schattenmühle, …

May 16, 2023,Schluchtensteig, Etappe 3

Another beautiful stage! My insider tip - the Lotenbachklamm. Take the hiking bus from Bonndorf. It runs every hour to the Lotenbachklamm stop. 1.5km through a narrow gorge, mystical, mysterious. Just a great atmosphere. The cloudy weather probably also contributed something 😶‍🌫️
At the Schattenmühle again on the gorge trail along the Wutach. The most beautiful and varied stage so …

June 23, 2023,Schwarzwald - Schluchtensteig Etappe 3 gekürzt, aber ab Lothenbachklamm bis Lenzkirch

Mega beautiful tour. Narrow paths and lots of water.

It's different after every curve.

Because of the bus connection with the Lotenbachklamm (worth it) and only to Lenzkirch.

This is now the third time we have tackled the Schluchtensteig. The first time we wanted to run the first 2 stages. It stayed with the first stage. 3 years ago the complete tour with luggage transfer. In terms of bladder technology 🦶 it remained at stage 1 + 2.
But now the tour is adapted to our requirements.
