Very beautiful narrow path through the Felsentäle. The path runs along the valley stream. The Felsentäle is a natural monument.

The rocky valleys near Meßkirch are a limestone reef that formed in the Jurassic Sea during the White Jurassic around 140 million years ago. This region is characterized by a large number of caves and places where streams seep into the ground.
