A really nice gorge. It is natural and quite easy to walk, as it is secured with steel cables. With a stroller, however, not recommended :)

Nice section of the Neckar cycle path and great to drive on asphalted route. Top!
At Mörtelstein it's short and steep up and down the mountain, so don't forget to change gears in good time.

Now in summer (July 2025) it's heavily overgrown. The marked path is on the other side of the stream.

Crossing the stream in the Margaretenschlucht Gorge is a beautiful moment on the hike. The small stream that winds through the gorge can be bridged or crossed using small stones in some places. It's an idyllic part of the hike that further enhances the nature experience.

The stairs to the grotto are very steep and irregular, so wear good shoes and be careful when it rains. The grotto is very well maintained but not ideal for sitting down. View of the Jagst valley towards Untergriesheim.

Good shoes and surefootedness are an advantage. It is not a normal forest path. It can be quite slippery. But it is definitely worth seeing, something different to a normal forest.
