Rupperts Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The path leads at the most beautiful point through the stream bed, sometimes with wire ropes to hold on to. A bit challenging, but really worth it! Can also be done with dogs.

I do not know to what extent the old traditions that there was a cult site from Germanic times at this point in the stream valley can be proven archaeologically. It is probably no coincidence that the sign on the hiking trail speaks of this possibility in the subjunctive.
