Hiking
On this hike, you can expect wide views of the landscape, deep gorges and old railway viaducts. Enjoy the premium hiking trail Viaduct and Gorge Tour on narrow paths through a beautiful and varied landscape.
You start at the Old Town Hall in Kappel and walk along historic paths through the impressive landscape of the Black Forest. Right at the beginning, the small chapel of St. Anthony awaits you - a place of peace where travelers have always said a short prayer. Then you follow the mill path, which leads you down into the gorge, past a disused railway line, which gives the path a touch of nostalgia.
The impressive Hölloch rock is a highlight of the tour. Narrow paths take you to this imposing rock massif that towers majestically over the gorge. The route continues along the Haslach to where it flows into the Wutach. As you follow the Wutach for a while, you can enjoy the silence of the forest before finally climbing out of the gorge over the stone fields. The tour ends with a relaxed return journey over meadow and forest paths that lead you back to Kappel.

It is an impressive gorge experience in the area of the Gutach and Haslach gorges and the small waterfall there. When the Wutach arises from the Gutach and Haslach, the valley widens and the river seems calmer. The names Gutach and Haslach are used several times. We weren't in the Kinzig valley, but …

Strangely enough, at some point she goes who knows where, just not following the signs.
Always follow the signs!!!
It's a bit of a shame that you don't really get anything from the report.
The planners could have added 2-3 …

We tackled the climb today, October 3rd, 2022. We are both hiking guides and know the area quite well. However, I have to say that as a non-resident you have to look for the viaducts. There should be hints. Otherwise, the route is well signposted.
