Gronach Valley

Highlight • Gorge

The path requires surefootedness. It has not been cleared - there are lots of trees lying across it. Stones for crossing the Gronach are partly loose and very slippery.

Highly recommended on hot summer days; it's nice to be in the shade. Great for children, you can “dive” in the water anywhere.

An idyllic jetty at the mouth of the Gronach and the Jagst. You have to decide whether to walk over the footbridge and continue on the E8, or along the Gronach to the hammer mill. Both are recommended.
