View from the Hölllochfelsen over the Haslach Gorge

Highlight • Viewpoint

A rocky, rooty path leads to the Höllloch rock. From there you can look down into the Höllloch.

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.

At the confluence of the Haslach and Gutach to form the Wutach, there is a bench that invites you to linger in this energetic, idyllic place. Watch, relax, enjoy the living power of the water and draw strength for yourself.

August 23, 2024,Wanderung Viadukt und Schluchtenpfad
Two events on this tour have stuck in my mind. On ours we met people who naturally lit a cigarette in the forest and an older gentleman who was carrying a full garbage bag with other people's garbage.
How important is this beautiful nature to us? Maybe everyone should look within themselves and chew gum instead of lighting a cigarette …

I was a bit confused by the directions because different parking lots were indicated for the start and finish, it doesn't really matter which one you use (you can also start from the Schützenhaus), it was just 2 km further from the old town hall.
At the beginning we went in a different direction than planned, but I think that …

Highlight:
Rechenfelsen
Impressive natural spectacle as the water makes its way through the rock.
View:
View of the Feldberg at the Antonius Chapel, good view of the Gutachtal in the last third of the tour.
Paths:
Extra caution is required in the gorges when it is wet. As you are entering the biosphere reserve, some of the paths are "wild", …

Very nice, varied tour. We recommend. 🌞

The route begins either at the old town hall in Kappel or at the Schützenhaus.
The first highlight of the tour comes before the first kilometer, it is the old St. Antonius Chapel, which is dedicated to St. Antonius.
About 150 years ago, pious citizens of Kappel made a pilgrimage to the Antonius Forest to a small statue of Antonius …

The gorge and viaduct path near Lenzkirch-Kappel
It is an impressive gorge experience in the area of the Gutach and Haslach gorges and the small waterfall there. When the Wutach arises from the Gutach and Haslach, the valley widens and the river seems calmer. The names Gutach and Haslach are used several times. We weren't in the Kinzig valley, but …

Very well signposted, you don't actually need the app.
Tour is downloaded from Schwarzwald Tourism,
Strangely enough, at some point she goes who knows where, just not following the signs.


Always follow the signs!!!

It's a bit of a shame that you don't really get anything from the report.
The planners could have added 2-3 …

We tackled the climb today, October 3rd, 2022. We are both hiking guides and know the area quite well. However, I have to say that as a non-resident you have to look for the viaducts. There should be hints. Otherwise, the route is well signposted.
