Waterfalls and Creekside Bench on the Bridges and Gorges Trail

Highlight • Waterfall

For me one of the most beautiful corners of the circular route - waterfall and stream cross here and there is a bench to rest on a small island in the stream.

Gorge and Bridge Path

Highlight • Trail

A really nice hiking trail. Sturdy shoes are an advantage. In some places there are steals with Qr codes where you can get audio information about the forest and nature. Also interesting for children

Winterberg is more than just fun, fun, fun! We still decided on the gorges and bridge path. Good decision ! Such a natural spectacle and almost in the middle of the city. A great experience, can only be recommended. Beautiful bridges, small waterfalls, great stream bed, steep gorges and always in the most beautiful nature. The path is only partially …

What a great route.. and luck with the weather, very chilly but wonderful to walk. What comes down must go up.... pfff some parts are quite high. But so beautiful. The sun and bridges, waterfalls, down hills and then the Bodensee, beautiful, partly frozen... it is quite chilly, feels like below freezing point. But a wonderful temperature for walking

Beautiful gorge tour! Don't be surprised, we also had a walk to Edeka. They have delicious meatloaf sandwiches. We brought some sweet mustard with us. 😜 Reward!

Fantastic landscape, almost completely in the shade. Afterwards, as a reward, a delicious refreshment at the Italian restaurant.

You can hardly believe it when you are standing in the bustling Winterberg: you only need to walk a few hundred meters from the spa park and you are suddenly in a completely different landscape: in a low mountain gorge ♡

Today we set off with 5 girls. A low mountain gorge in the Sauerland! At very short distances we can literally immerse ourselves in a completely different landscape. That sounds good. Said and done. And what can I say, the description hits the spot.
Rugged rock faces, steeply rising, with wild vegetation, waterfalls and streams.
We absolutely loved it.
