Attention will be required here ... if you look closely you will find the stone and can puzzle what kind of figure it is ...

Wutachflühen Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The Wutachflühen (Flühen = rocks) stand for towering rock towers, gigantic ferns, moss-covered stones and gnarled roots. You pass this section of the jungle on partly exposed, narrow paths with a low risk of vertigo.

On the first stage of the Schluchtensteig one of the highlights: the bridge of the Sauschwänzlebahn as a truss girder bent downwards. There are a few more of these, but …

September 18, 2021,Zum Aklimatisieren in die Wutachflühen

After we hiked the "Schluchtensteig" in the Black Forest two years ago, we went to the Wutachfluchten again today to get in. Dreamlike! Starting tomorrow, the "Best of Black Forest" tour is going with a lot of luggage (for stages, see Outdooractive).

The Wutach has "eaten away" in the shell limestone slopes and formed a bombastic gorge. The slopes of the Wutach valley - the Wutachflühen (Flühe = rock) - are just as bombastic and technically a bit more demanding. The heavily wooded slopes are a dream to walk on: the Wutach murmurs below, the birds are singing in the treetops 🦅. …

December 24, 2022,Wutach - Sauschwänzle Brücke....

...small loop along the Wutach, under the Sauschwänzle bridge, on to the Wutachflühen (= rocks) and to the waterfall...over narrow paths...nobody far and wide...ideal for going into the silence so shortly before Christmas Eve...
I wish you all a "Merry Christmas" with your loved ones 😊

I really enjoyed the circular trail – I'd happily do it again – but this time in the opposite direction, and a bit further.
It requires a very good level of surefootedness; some of the paths are very narrow. Especially since there isn't a single bench along the entire trail. The path "to the cave" isn't entirely without its advantages …

Today my two boys accompanied me on the hike. This tour inspires us again and again, narrow sections of the path, varied, in between you get a wonderful view of the valley and the beautiful rock faces.

Demanding, entertaining tour with children: the circular hike started right at the parking lot. It went on narrow paths over hill and dale, along wooded steep slopes, with beautiful views, through the middle of the fragrant forest. Of course we often paused to look, collect, drink, etc. Finally, the children could put their feet in the Wutach. All around beautiful!

Today we spontaneously went to the Wutachflühen in the best weather. The first March cups are already blooming here, even if they are definitely not reaching the masses of last year.

As always, a great hike with great views. Highly recommended, but good shoes are a must.

May 12, 2025,Weitergehen- Wutach und Wutachflühen

This morning, I'm once again drawn to the Wutach River. I haven't visited the Wutachflühen in a long time, and I quickly find a route that's perfect for a longer morning walk.

A small hiking parking lot at the upper edge of the Wutachflühen is my starting point. Just a few meters later, I enter the forest and catch my …
