The nature reserve is in two parts with a total size of 42ha and was designated in 1980. Part 1 Edenbach Gorge around 5.2ha Part 2 Wieslaufschlucht around 36.8ha Brief description: Deeply cut gorges with natural geological outcrops and rock formations as impressive geological phenomena and as natural habitats for the flora and fauna indigenous to the Keupklingen; Bannwald (LWaldG § 32). Extract of appreciation: It is obvious that in this barely accessible gorge, which was only recently made accessible by a path created by the Welzheim Forestry Office, a near-natural gorge forest with sycamore maple, mountain elm, ash, silver fir, etc. has been preserved. Many floristic peculiarities can be found here, such as the magnificent forest goat's beard and, particularly precious, the alpine / subalpine white butterbur (Petasites albus), which appears in early spring, alongside many fern and moss species. Notable birds include: to name the dipper and the gray wagtail.

Very nice, adventurous hiking trail. Absolutely to recommend. Imposing rock formation. Descent is easily accessible for everyone with ropes and chains on the steep stairs. We were there in bad weather (rain), it was a bit slippery and muddy, but deserted. ;-) Sturdy shoes are recommended.

It is imperative that you wear sturdy shoes and not go hiking there after rainy days. The ground is very muddy and we had to turn around in places as it gets really dangerous in places
