Wutach sinkhole in the Wutach Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The highlight of a beautiful hike through the Wutachschlucht. These walls are impressive and invite you to linger. A perfect place to rest, play and eat. Highly recommended!

New Rümmelesteg Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Bridge with two supports - however, the sign on the bridge refers to the Rümmele Bridge, which is within sight a little further downstream.

Karl Rümmele was a railway construction engineer at the Baden State Railways. It was he who set the idea for a continuous walk through the Wutachschlucht with webs rolling. A special feature was the construction of the bridges as suspension bridges. They were anchored one-sidedly in the rock while resting on the other side on a stone pillar. If now the pillar would be destroyed by flood, the bridge still hangs freely at the rock.

Wutach bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A somewhat newer bridge – much more stable than the other wooden footbridges that you cross during the tour.

Cliff Path along the Wutach Gorge

Highlight • Trail

Very beautiful and idyllic path. But always keep your eyes open where you are going! It is not entirely safe. Sturdy shoes with a good tread are important here!

August 21, 2023,Wutachschlucht und Wutachversickerung – Runde von Ewattingen

The Wutach Gorge is always worth a hike. From the starting point gravel road left down to Wutach. Beautiful in the forest and very pleasant at the current temperatures. The path through the gorge is easy to walk on and always offers beautiful photo opportunities. Unfortunately, 4/5 of the way back from the kiosk is a pure tar road and …

Inspired by @Yvonne, I did a long-saved tour in the Black Forest. 😊

It was a long time ago... because part of the tour had already been recaptured by nature 🤣 but without adventure it's boring 😉 (I didn't know what was to come...) 🫣
