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.

March 27, 2022,Kaskadenschlucht Gersfeld

After a long time we went out into nature again. We started from the parking lot at the foot of the Kaskadenschlucht, then we went along the water up to the Red Moor. Past the beautiful moor reservoir to the moor village. Then it was the same way back to the parking lot.
Ideal for a little Sunday outing.

March 25, 2023,Rotes Moor Rhön - Kaskadenschlucht

We started in heavy rain at the "Moordorf" car park. This is where the NABU house on the Red Moor is located. Passing the Moorsee, we had to stop at the first shelter because of the weather. The weather itself really offered everything. Of heavy rain, snow, hail, storm and bright sunshine. The path led us first through the moor …

A very nice hike through the Kaskadenschlucht, along a small stream to the moor lake. The way through the cascades was a bit difficult at times due to boulders and long inclines, but the area more than made up for it. The moor nature trail with wooden slats was very beautiful and instructive and led about 1 km in the …

And again explored another piece of the Rhön ... a pleasantly cool stretch in the Kaskadenschlucht up to the 600m high Red Moor. The tour is a real refreshment on hot summer days

September 29, 2024,Rhöner Extratour... Rotes Moor

Today we went to the Red Moor.
The tour would actually have been a bit longer but my companion had no more energy so I changed the route... unfortunately 😏
From the NABU House through the Red Moor to the Cascade Gorge and back again.

Hiking the Cascade Gorge has been on my mind for a long time, and today was my chance to put that plan into action. It was definitely worth it. The Feldbach has dug a deep valley and brought down a lot of debris from the heights. The path is not difficult to walk, you should only have a good basic …
