The Wutachflühen (Flühen = rocks) stand for towering rock towers, gigantic ferns, moss-covered stones and gnarled roots. You pass this section of the jungle on partly exposed, narrow paths with a low risk of vertigo.

Then it goes into the gorge to the Schleifenbach …

On a clear day you can also see the Alps.
At the moment whole carpets of wild garlic are blooming up there. Looks beautiful.
You walk through a wonderful …
