I've never seen a ravine of this size. The meter-high loess walls are not only incredibly impressive, but also provide a habitat for many animal and bird species. A signposted themed trail here also explores the topic of "loess."

A deep cut into the landscape. The central cycle route leads through this ravine, and a variant of the garden cycle tour branches off at the entrance below.

A fantastic natural monument, many hiking trails, such as the Way of St. James, the World Heritage Trail, the Kremstal-Donau long-distance hiking trail and the Great Tullnerfeld circular hiking trail 475 lead through here. There are display boards with interesting insights into the creation of, and not just this trench.

A wild ditch from Angern up to Tiefenfucha is a section of the Mining Memorial Trail, partly quite wild and pristine, but if you look closely you can still find remains from the "mining era" in this area.
