Cascade in the Kaskaden Gorge

Highlight • Waterfall

Here you can see one of the cascades. The Feldbach has dug into the terrain and created the gorge, but is held back here and there by hard layers of rock.

Upper Bridge, Kaskadenschlucht

Highlight • Bridge

In the upper part of the Kaskadenschlucht this is the first bridge from the direction of "Rotes Moor", from which one gets a first impression of the small brook, which at the end carries some water masses with it.

Moor lake in the Red Moor

The Rotes Moor nature reserve is one of the last raised bogs in Hesse. After the peat mining was stopped in 1986, the restoration of the moor began. In the course of this, this pond was also created.

Welcome back in Hesse and the Winternin der Rhön shows itself from its most wonderful side.
Breathtaking ice formations and the unique views slow everyone down because they are so beautiful. In the Cascade Gorge, the water gurgles along under the ice

Hello was out and about in the Hessian Röhn today
The gorge at the beginning and end is really beautiful. The hike through the forest is okay. The only thing you can complain about is that you only get a really nice view of the Röhn once (at the end) of the round. If you still have time and strength, …
