Fuchsschroffen In and around the rocks, many foxes used to live, who also hid their stolen chickens here. The Fuchsschroffen consists of granite, a very hard and solid rock, versatile, for example, in road construction and as building stone. The granite has a very wide-meshed joint network, which breaks it down into large blocks through erosion. Age of the granite: approx. 315 million years.

The water of the Brandbach stream plunges down here through a narrow gorge called Gaishölle. Over the centuries, the great drop in the water has washed away the huge rocks and boulders lying on the valley floor. This created a wild and romantic forest gorge with many waterfalls. In the past, one could not walk normally through the valley. If one wanted to cross the gorge, one had to "geißen", meaning to move like a chamois (goat) by climbing. The "Hölle" is in turn an age-old name for a narrow, wild area with many rocks and stones. In 1880, a hiking trail was first laid out through the wild and romantic Gaishölle. The maintenance and care of this trail then led to the founding of a special "beautification society" in 1882, today's "Heimat- und Verkehrsvereines Sasbachwalden". Some interesting data: Trail length: approx. 800 m Steps: 225 Bridges: 13 Altitude difference: 154 m Access Murbergstraße: 338 m above sea level

The water of the Brandbach stream plunges down here through a narrow gorge called Gaishölle. Over the centuries, the great drop in the water has washed away the huge rocks and erratic boulders lying on the valley floor. This created a wild and romantic forest gorge with many waterfalls. In the past, it was not possible to walk through the valley normally. If you wanted to cross the gorge, you had to "geißen", meaning to move forward by climbing like a chamois (goat). "Hölle" (hell) is an old name for a narrow, wild area with many rocks and stones. In 1880, a hiking trail was first created through the wild and romantic Gaishölle. The maintenance and care of this trail then led to the founding of a special "beautification association" in 1882, today's "Heimat- und Verkehrsvereines Sasbachwalden" (Local and Tourist Association Sasbachwalden).
