Seltenbach Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Beautiful path, partly also over small wooden bridges, through the gorge at the foot of the Klingenburg. A bit slippery in places when it rains (showers).

Clingenburg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Beautiful castle ruins above the town of Klingenberg. Located above the vineyards, on the edge of the forest, it is a very nice destination! The Burgterrasse restaurant invites you to linger.

Fun mix of spring scent and floral intoxication, but also trudging through leafy forest floor

November 19, 2023,Kulturweg Klingenberg "Vom Ton, Steinen und Scherben"

The weather forecast has predicted sunny spells without rain for today. And after a short rain shower in the parking lot at the train station, the sun came out.
A cultural trail that runs well. Start is at the train station. The path leads over the Main Bridge, with the first view of the Clingenburg, further through the rose garden …

Beautiful gorge
Sensible footwear is recommended. There are actually people who walk this path in their slippers, which is no problem in dry weather.
We also recommend the sweet chestnut educational trail. Sturdy footwear is recommended for this too.
This tour is not only educational but also exciting and varied. Can also be done by children

Today I walked through the Seltenbach Gorge with my daughter 👩‍⚖️. We weren't lucky enough to see any cute salamanders 🦎, but maybe we were a little too distracted because we were chattering so much 😅. In any case, the walk was beautiful 😍.

May 9, 2026,Klingenberg a.M. - Seltenbachschlucht und Weinberge

Since bird watching and bird songs have been a recurring topic on recent hikes, we downloaded the free Merlin Bird ID app before the tour. We tried it out in the Seitenbachschlucht gorge and not only there. Indeed, we were amazed at how many birds were around. In the wild and romantic Seitenbachschlucht gorge, we also encountered a fire salamander …

On the road again today with a 9 € ticket. Certainly the last time at the weekend. To Klingenberg in the morning ok, but pure chaos on the way back. But everything was fine... the hike and the hacks were so beautiful that we put up with it once. When we drove into Aschaffenburg main station, the platform was already …
