Descent to Mathelbach Spring and Hydraulic Ram

Highlight • Trail

The narrow, steep descent goes partly over roots and many stones. Because it is ALWAYS wet here, even in dry weather, the stones are very slippery! But it is worth it and is absolutely recommended! Gigantic rock formations.

Leidingshofer Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Rock canyon, the ram, a pump that drives itself, lush greenery and beautiful views. Often mushy after prolonged rain, but a nice and shady walk, especially when it's hot!

Next to it is a rest area with tables and benches.
An idyllic place to rest or have a picnic on a blanket.

In addition to the stunningly beautiful nature, the Leidingshofertal invites you to relax at any time of year.
You can discover various butterflies and salamanders.
Next to the refuge in the valley there is an old pump to admire.
At the end of the tour you can have a good meal at the Naturfreundehaus and enjoy the great view.
