View of Guttenbach and the Neckar River

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the whole way to the Magareth Gorge you have a wonderful view of the Neckar Valley. The path is also wonderful in the sun. Especially pleasant on cool days.

Wolf's Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The famous “Wolfsschlucht” (lower entrance) begins here, right next to Zwingenberg Castle.
My tip: leave your bike behind and explore the wildly romantic gorge on foot!

Wolf Gorge Waterfalls (Odenwald)

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

In 1866, the last wolf of the Odenwald was said to have been killed here. Carl Maria von Weber is said to have been inspired by this gorge to his opera "Der Freischütz". Every year Schlossfestspiele takes place at nearby Zwingenberg Castle.
As with the Margarethenschlucht applies here: when it rains from a simple path is a dangerously slippery path, the stream leads correspondingly much water. Good footwear is the prerequisite for an adventurous path over cane, roots and stone, over or through the stream. Interesting is the way up the stream, which you have to look for later to get back to the main path. You climb over fallen trees and often wade through the stream. In wet weather the day before, the path recomends right above the stream, past the castle walls.

November 10, 2024,Odenwald 🌲 🌳 - Zwingenberg-Neckar "Margareten- & Wolfsschlucht"

This is one of the southernmost hikes the Odenwald has to offer. The Neckar is pretty much the border.
You don't need sun in the gorges 🌞, you need absolute surefootedness. 🤭 My favorite today was the Wolfsschlucht.
The Margaretenschlucht was too safe, but not to be underestimated. 😅
Very beautiful sandstone formations in both gorges. ⛰️
The route is …

The two gorges in one hike was the plan and that's how we implemented it. A bit of freestyle was announced between the two gorges, as some (tick) paths weren't really there anymore, even though they were shown as paths in Kommot? But as always, we fought our way through and improvised. Great round with an even greater woman 🥰

So...for the maltreated readers of my otherwise often long comments...there's not so much on my mind today...I was running out of time today because of all the sniffing and scrambling in the two gorges and the wild strawberries and the raspberries were now only life-sustaining... certainly not filling... in other words... the boy is hungry..😉

Two gorges, one highlight. Man, man, man, was that nice. Well, the feeders aren't great, but if you like stones and water, you should have been there.
For us it is a mixture of the Wutach Gorge (Black Forest) and Felsenmeer Lauterbach.
Excuse the numerous photos, but the interplay of the dead rock and the living water once again swept …

June 25, 2024,🥾 Margarete und der Wolf - zwei Schluchten auf einen Streich 🥾🌞

Today we hiked two gorges on the Neckar 🥾: the Margaretenschlucht and then the Wolfsschlucht.
We started from 🅿️ Neckargerach train station, where the Margaretenschlucht is signposted. The gorge has an alpine character with lots of ropes, but is generally easy to walk through.
Then we continued towards Zwingenberg to see the Wolfsschlucht. The gorge is reminiscent of a jungle …
