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 …

Gauchach Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

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

The Gauchach is for me personally the nicer part of the gorge! Here you often walk very close to the water, sometimes it is even necessary to walk over stones …

Very beautiful and idyllic path. But always keep your eyes open where you are going! It is not entirely safe. Sturdy shoes with a good tread are important here!

The highlight of a beautiful hike through the Wutachschlucht. These walls are impressive and invite you to linger. A perfect place to rest, play and eat. Highly recommended!

Rock Gallery (Wutach Gorge)

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Walk along bizarre rock formations on this beautiful stretch, listen to the raging Wutach and enjoy the unique scenery. The gorge is especially beautiful in autumn when the leaves of the trees turn white.

On your way through the Wutachschlucht you will pass numerous waterfalls. The water cuts its way through rock crevices and splashing over shell limestone walls and mossy edges.

This tour is recommended. Due to the Enge Gorge and the Gauchach Gorge at the beginning, the tour is much more varied, but also longer. Sturdy shoes are highly recommended.
We came from Schattenmühle by bus and train in the morning, where we left our car. You can also use public transport to travel all the way there and back …

Beautiful hike through natural gorges. Paths are well paved, sometimes muddy, wet and slippery, some bridges and steel stairs. A tour worth experiencing

Showing Translation

Today it was supposed to be an 11km geocaching round to see a bit of each of the three gorges.
I started shortly after eight from the Drei-Schluchten-Halle car park.
My path first led me through the Wutach Gorge. Apart from the rushing of the Wutach and the chirping of the birds, nothing could be heard...just beautiful...
The beautiful Gauchach …

The trail through the Wutach and Gaukach Gorges is a must for every hiker and nature lover. There's so much to see, and one highlight follows the next.

Due to the length and some difficult sections, it's only suitable for sure-footed hikers. Avoid attempting it in or immediately after rain, as it's quite muddy and should be approached with caution.

From the parking lot to the Three Gorges Tour. Easy to walk on... but sometimes very muddy (changing shoes in the car is a good idea). Then continue along the Wutach, following the gorge trail. Back on the other side. A super nice narrow path. Sometimes the path can only be guessed at. In general a super nice trail. Quite …

We took the hiking bus from the Schattenmühle to the Wutachmühle and started our tour from there.
With the Konus guest card you can use the bus for free.

The bus can be used for this one-way route. In the morning, for example, to get to the Lotenbachklamm, start from Wutachmühle with one change at the Boll junction (buses wait for each other), journey around half an hour. The route is full of highlights, but the Enschlucht is a slippery and not entirely safe pleasure. I strongly recommend hiking …
