Currently closed due to danger to life. This could last for several years because safety measures are necessary after tree and rockfalls. Especially now in winter, I can only agree – it was sometimes extremely dangerous...

A wonderful hike, but unfortunately the gorge is still closed. It's a shame nothing has been done about it yet, as it's been closed for many years... Otherwise, highly recommended.

I often come here with my dog; it's definitely one of my favorite places, especially in the hot summer months. It's nice and cool, there's always a place for the dog to drink, and the scenery is breathtaking.

Of course, it's a special highlight when the heather blooms in late summer and bathes the entire landscape in pink.
