Highlight • Gorge

On the route through the gorge you can often discover witches in various places. But please also pay attention to the path, because it is narrow and steep.

Wooden Bridge in the Palatinate Forest

January 13, 2024,Riesige, leuchtende Eiszapfen in der Hexenkamm und Kälberklamm

Today we went to the Witches and Calves Gorge with Fritz. For a few days we had temperatures below 0 degrees to -8 degrees. Good conditions for beautiful icicles, especially at the waterfalls in the Kälberklamm. This backdrop is incredibly beautiful...huge icicles, balls of all sizes, conjured up by the many splashes 💦 around the flowing water. To make the …

Beautiful area, fairly easy to navigate aside from a few downed trees. And of course plenty climbing. Hexenklamm or Witches Gorge typically has lots of little witch figures throughout the …

I saw the tour last week at @Simone 🏂⛷🚵🏻🥾 and @1Fritz-Marc 🚴🥾🏊🌲. Thank you both for the great template. We followed the lap pretty closely. Due to the oncoming thaw, this weekend will probably be the last opportunity to marvel at the icicles in the two gorges for an indefinite period of time. We've wanted to go to the Hexenklamm …

September 14, 2025,PWV Insheim: Kälber- und Hexenklamm

In beautiful hiking weather and on an idyllic circular trail, we explored the Kälberklamm and Hexenklamm gorges. The impressive rock formations and numerous waterfalls, through which we hiked uphill and downhill on narrow paths, made our tour a fantastic experience.
We stopped for lunch at the Eichelsbacher Mühle, where we were treated to excellent food.
Finally, we hiked up the …
