I won't get these beautiful mountain landscapes ⛰️🏔️ and the partially ripping Wimbach incl. the gorge 🏞️🌊 out of my head so quickly. All the sun has also burned down on my thinker's forehead.

Today we went to Wimbachgries. Could start running straight from the holiday apartment, it's only 2 km to Wimmbachbrücke. Then we went through the gorge. Beautiful😍🌊. Water came down the wall everywhere and then roared towards the valley.
Then we went higher and higher towards Wimbachgrieshütte. Unfortunately, it started to rain halfway to the top and didn't stop until halfway …

The morning greeted us with blue skies and sunshine. So, off we went to the Wimbach Bridge and into the Wimbachgries valley. We skipped the gorge today and immediately headed toward the Wimbachgries Hut. The path leads along a narrow forest road along the Gries, sometimes steeply, sometimes less steeply, up to the hut. We passed Wimbach Castle on the …

The Wimbachgries is a special place, a beautiful lunar landscape. The path runs in the forest next to the Gries, which is very good in summer...as well as a refreshment in the gorge at the beginning and in the Wimbach at the end of the tour.

You quickly reach the Wimbach Gorge, which is also free to walk around. Entrance fee: 4 euros. Tickets are available at the machine, so it's always open. The gorge is short but well worth seeing.
