Great gorge! Great trail that meanders from Rötenbach down to the mouth next to the stream. An insider tip - I hadn't heard of the gorge until yesterday. Probably because there are other gorges here, especially the Wutach Gorge.

Beaver Dam in Naturpark Südschwarzwald

Highlight • Natural

Between the first and second bridge you wander through the realm of the beavers, one building after the other stands here, in this section he feels comfortable.

Rötenbach Gorge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The first section of the premium hiking trail Rötenbachschlucht serves as a relaxed introduction. It goes quite well up and down and the paths are rocky, but everything is still …

Another wonderful tour through the not so crowded Rötenbach Gorge. The gorge is simply wonderful to hike through, narrow and sure-footed paths with fantastic nature.. I then added the round to walk a little bit through the Wutach Gorge above.. simply great 😉

Inspired by Martin's tour, we wanted to hike the premium hiking trail Rötenbachschlucht. However, there were so many on the way 🥺 (ok 🙈 it's your own fault 🙈 Sunday and good weather) that we decided to do the two gorges hike at the confluence of the Wutach.

The two gorge path starts at Rötenbach and leads through the Rötenbach gorge.
A varied, great round!

On the wonderful paths of the "Rötenbachschlucht" pleasure trail, we follow the wild brook to the mouth of the Wutach - the most famous gorge in the Black Forest. An absolute - also demanding - hiking dream! 🔝👌

Great hike, especially Rötenbach Gorge: Sturdy shoes and sure-footedness required. The way back across the fields, on the other hand, was rather boring

Day 3 in the Black Forest led us to 2 gorges in the best weather 🌞. We have added the Krebsbachgraben and Rossbachgraben to the designated hiking trail from Rötenbach, which was worth it. After hiking through both ditches, we walked across an open, sunny area to the Hohe Wacht (990m) with a 360° panorama. Unfortunately it was a bit …

On the Two Gorges Trail through the Rötenbach Gorge, which was the absolute highlight. A wonderful gorge that's also home to some beavers. A great tour, highly recommended.

Today we took the Höllentalbahn from Kirchzarten to Rötenbach. Among other things, the premium hiking trail 2 Schluchtenpfad starts there. The word premium is used in an inflationary way these days. In addition to premium partners, premium cards and premium accounts, there are countless other nonsense that wrongly have the word in their name.
It's completely different on this circular …

A beautiful and varied hike. Not difficult at all.
For my sister, the Stadtpommeranze was a really cool experience.
Not much oncoming traffic...🤪
The weather was great too... every now and then we got a cool, wet dip...which was necessary given the temperatures..😁
