Felsenhütte with views over the Wehra Gorge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

great, exposed vantage point with a deep view over the Wehratal. Good shelter in bad weather. From there there are several great options to get down into the valley. Among other things, via the small via ferrata with ladders and chains, which is neither signposted nor visible on maps, difficulty T2-T2Plus with T3 points. In bad weather, the difficulty increases significantly. (see e.g. one of my tours: komoot.de/tour/202627592 or: komoot.de/tour/260392638 with more pictures.
For average hikers already the upper limit, sturdy shoes, a head for heights, good orientation (cairns) are prerequisites.
Also in the other direction (upwards) there are several variants (also forgotten paths) to get via Hornberg, Hornberg basin, Ehwaldhütte etc.

A long, long cascade of small waterfalls of one of the many (nameless?) Wehra tributaries that follows the gorge trail for several hundred meters.

Wehra Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Changing sides on the Schluchtensteig!
After you have descended in a Kerbtal to the Wehra, you can rest here and enjoy the noise before it goes up again on the opposite side.

Narrow woodland trails in the Wehra Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Schluchtensteig snakes along narrow forest paths through the unspoilt bann forests on the slopes of the Wehraschlucht. In various places, the dense forest opens a little and gives you a view of the dramatic landscape.

Wehra Valley Dam

Highlight • Monument

Shortly before the descent to the dam of Wehratal dam, one has a beautiful view of the reservoir with the dam and behind the city weir. Rest on a bench.

December 23, 2023,Hotzenwald-Runde ab Wehra-Stausee

Pre-Christmas🎄👼 hike in the beautiful, extensive Hotzenwald.🌲🌳🍂🍁 Entertaining and adventurous in a wildly romantic gorge on the Schluchtensteig, crossed several wooden bridges, climbed under and over fallen wood, over slippery leaves and waded through small streams, all in all a great tour on the search after 'Robber Hotzenplotz's footsteps...😉Good footwear highly recommended!🥾⛅️⛰️💦

Very nice route 🏔️ Fire salamanders were also hiking, unfortunately two were dead... keep your eyes open when cycling, folks...

Be careful, we went a long way down the wrong path about halfway there because we had neglected to pay attention to the signpost. The GPS reception was also very bad, so that there are large deviations from the map.
