Waterfall where the Balgenbach meets the Gauchach

Highlight • Waterfall

Fairytale beautiful scenery there, but please visit only with good shoes as there are some slippery spots and the paths change depending on the height of the water level.

Gauchach Gorge

Absolutely fantastic and recommended for the summer months. With a lot of water, there is a risk of wet feet in some places.

Narrow trail along the Gauchach in the Gauchach Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The narrow paths near the bank, often located under a protruding rock face, sometimes even going directly through the water, are the spice of a hiking tour through adventurously appearing …

This stair waterfall is striking and yet quite large for such a small stream. Very nice photo motif.

September 12, 2022,SW Mundelfingen RW Gauchachschlucht kurz

Very scenic short hike, which can also have tricky spots depending on the water level of the Gauchach and after heavy rainfall. Presumably "frequented by tourists" during holiday periods and at weekends. Approximately at KM 3.8 was a catered hut situated in the gorge.

Short and awesome 🥰😎 The access is via a wide path down into the gorge...and that's where things really get going...narrow paths, very narrow paths...over tree trunks, slippery and muddy sections, sometimes quite impassable...and at the end of the gorge you even get coffee and cake 🥰 Then it goes back up on a wide path 😉

And again it was a gourmet path today. We walked along the Gauchach over narrow paths and stones. The path was mostly wet, very muddy in parts. The path was very broken in several places, we had to be extremely careful not to slip. In spite of this, or precisely because of this, the 85 points awarded by the Wanderinstitut …

Yesterday (Gorge Trail #3) I wrote in the comment "just something small tomorrow." I quickly chose the Gauchach Gorge near Mundelfingen, which was practically on the way home from St. Blasien to Muggensturm and is comparatively short at 5.5 km. It's also certified as a premium trail/pleasure trail by the German Hiking Institute and is described there as follows: "The …

Very nice tour.
Lonely paths (Thursday morning), some of them directly along the water.
A place to stop for refreshments almost at the end.

November 10, 2024,🇩🇪 Genießerpfad Gauchachschlucht

The visitor car park was almost full when we arrived, and there was a thick blanket of fog in the direction of Lake Constance. At the beginning the path was still wide, but the deeper we got into the valley the narrower the path became. We soon reached a wooden footbridge on which we crossed the Balgenbächle. The water gently …

A wonderful, challenging trail through the Gauchach Gorge.
You often had to be careful to stay on the trail and avoid slipping.
