Rake rock

Highlight • Gorge

The valley suddenly becomes a gorge and the water squeezes through the rocks. A fantastic sight! Probably one of the most mystical places in the southern Black Forest.

October 29, 2022,Viadukt- und Schluchtentour im goldenen Herbst (Südschwarzwald)🐾🍁🍂🐾

A beautiful hike in the golden autumn in the Black Forest. It was a dog tour with 11 Lagotti. Narrow paths, gorges, water, some panoramic views and that with the warm temperatures. On the way we only met a few hikers. My conclusion: a beautiful day on a premium trail 🐾
