Great tour even with a bit worse weather. Finally, a visit to the nearby cafe worthwhile, but you should inform yourself in advance about the opening times

With the best weather, we chose a rustic nature experience of a special quality: the Holzbachschlucht in the Wällerland between Gemünden and Seck. With over 30-meter-high basalt rock walls, this natural gem has existed as a nature reserve since 1929. A must for everyone who lives or vacations here.

Very nice varied tour. First high up and then it went down into the Holzbachschlucht.

Short spontaneous round through the Holzbachschlucht. But it was enough given the weather.

Today's hike took us from Irmtraut over the high Hahnscheid route to the Holzbach Gorge and Dappricher Hof. Unfortunately there was a light drizzle most of the time. 40 participants were enthusiastic about the impressions in the Holzbach Gorge.
