Impressions in the Wutach Gorge

Highlight • Viewpoint

You should not be afraid of heights. The view is wonderful and there are even places to sit on some stones. Fantastically beautiful!

Wutach bridge

Highlight • Bridge

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

Wiederaustritt der Wutach

Highlight • Natural Monument

Here, the water that seeps away a few hundred meters upstream at the old Rümmelesteg resurfaces in several places.

Gauchach Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Gauchach is for me personally the nicer part of the gorge! Here you often walk very close to the water, sometimes it is even necessary to walk over stones …

Löffingen Castle Mill

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A detour to the Burgmühle is worthwhile. Here you can find something to eat and drink. Opening hours: Tuesday to Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Closed on Mondays.

Ensch Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The narrow paths through the gorge are regularly slippery even in dry weather. Smooth and moist limestones can also be dangerous for experienced hikers. After prolonged rains, landslides, rockfalls and path breaks and the resulting closures are possible.
