Hohle Gasse (Narrow Rocky Pathway)

Highlight • Gorge

Attention will be required here ... if you look closely you will find the stone and can puzzle what kind of figure it is ...

The Wutachflühen (Flühen = rocks) stand for towering rock towers, gigantic ferns, moss-covered stones and gnarled roots. You pass this section of the jungle on partly exposed, narrow paths with a low risk of vertigo.

Guardian of the Wutach Cliffs

Highlight • Monument

On the hiking trail in the Wutachflühen you surprisingly come across an almost 1 m tall animal figure carved in stone. A mythical creature with hooves, bumps on its back …

Sauschwänzlebahn Bridge over the Wutach River

Highlight • Bridge

On the first stage of the Schluchtensteig one of the highlights: the bridge of the Sauschwänzlebahn as a truss girder bent downwards. There are a few more of these, but …

May 15, 2022,Sauschwänzlebrücke – Direkt an der Wutach Runde von Lausheim-Blumegg

Pure nature, great mostly narrow nature paths, except for the chirping of birds and the murmuring of the brook, rest and relaxation.
Slippery in places, so pay attention to the weather.

August 15, 2021,Fützen - 🌄Wutachflühen🥾😎😋🧐

Today my two boys accompanied me on the hike. This tour inspires us again and again, narrow sections of the path, varied, in between you get a wonderful view of the valley and the beautiful rock faces.

December 24, 2022,Wutach - Sauschwänzle Brücke....

...small loop along the Wutach, under the Sauschwänzle bridge, on to the Wutachflühen (= rocks) and to the waterfall...over narrow paths...nobody far and wide...ideal for going into the silence so shortly before Christmas Eve...
I wish you all a "Merry Christmas" with your loved ones 😊

June 8, 2023,Rundwanderung durch die Wutachflühen

The Wutach has "eaten away" in the shell limestone slopes and formed a bombastic gorge. The slopes of the Wutach valley - the Wutachflühen (Flühe = rock) - are just as bombastic and technically a bit more demanding. The heavily wooded slopes are a dream to walk on: the Wutach murmurs below, the birds are singing in the treetops 🦅. …

May 4, 2025,Ein wahrer Genießerpfad, Sauschwänzle-Weg zwischen Fützen und Blumberg

A dreamy hiking trail along the Wutach-Flühen, to be enjoyed with all your senses...a natural trail nestled amidst the constant rushing of the Wutach River, the intense scent of wild garlic; I've never seen it in such abundance before...and the constant snorting and whistling of the Sauschwänzlebahn, a steam train on which you can "buy" at many stations and work …

September 19, 2025,Sauschwänzlebrücke, Wutachflühen - Tour ab WP Wutachflühen bei Fützen 19.09.25

Arriving by car, park at the Wutachflühen WP near Fützen.
From there, the trail descends along the Wutach River to Grimmelshofen, then climbs back up over the Wutachflühen and back to the parking lot.
Wonderful late summer weather at around 25°C.
(Slip-resistant hiking shoes are recommended for this tour.)

September 18, 2021,Zum Aklimatisieren in die Wutachflühen

After we hiked the "Schluchtensteig" in the Black Forest two years ago, we went to the Wutachfluchten again today to get in. Dreamlike! Starting tomorrow, the "Best of Black Forest" tour is going with a lot of luggage (for stages, see Outdooractive).

September 21, 2025,Kleiner Schwenk an den Rand des Schwarzwalds

The impressive sky in the morning certainly didn't bode well. Nevertheless, we carried on with our planned program. At the beginning of the tour, it poured with rain, but little of it penetrated the still-dense canopy of leaves on the ground.
