The varied round trip takes us through the three gorges of Wutach, Gauchach and Enge. We first walk through the Wutach Gorge on a section of the well-known Gorge Trail before we reach the wild and romantic Gauchach Gorge. This smaller side gorge impresses with many small waterfalls as well as small bridges and footbridges that lead us over the Gauchach again and again. On the way, we pass the Burgmühle hiking hostel, where we can stop off for a bite to eat and don't miss out on the home-made cakes. Another highlight is the challenging Enge Gorge. The paths are usually very wet and slippery, so caution is advised on the narrow paths. Then it goes back towards Bachheim via a meadow path.
Please note the recommended running direction!
Not suitable for prams, can be walked with children if they are sure-footed and free from giddiness.
Suitable for dogs, some lattice steps, be considerate of other hikers on narrow paths and put the dog on a leash.
