Große Lauter Valley and Cliffs

Highlight • Gorge

Transalblust highlight: The Große Lauter has been one of Germany's natural wonders since 2019 and meanders in its natural river basin through green meadows, past juniper heaths, caves, typical rocks and defiant castle ruins.

Rock Archway Entrance to Lautertal

Highlight • Natural Monument

The tunnel carved into the rock is, so to speak, the inlet from the south into the Lautertal. Drive through and enjoy and marvel at the really beautiful valley.

Glastal Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Opportunity for a wonderful circular hike through the Glastal valley and back via the Schweiftal valley. The Schweiftal valley is worth a detour, especially because of its bright limestone cliffs.

Trail down. (Narrow, rocky and partly steep).
From Wittstaig the path is closed, torn up and mostly the gravel is rolled. Detour via Derneck Castle. …
