Fantastic gravel (gravel) path through the Wolfsschlucht.
The finest gravel surface leads through a dreamlike and enchanting forest landscape - always parallel to the Breitenbach.
The great path connects the "Forsthaus Breitenstein" with the "Wolfsschluchthütte".

Wolf Gorge Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A beautiful hut with good, hearty Palatinate food and very reasonable prices. There is a small playground for children and the stream is perfect for splashing around. The large swing is a hit.
