At the "Roter Puhl" the Enz has cut into the slope covered with beech trees at a considerable height. Here the rock of the middle Bunter sandstone from the Triassic period stands in bright orange-red colors. These deposits in river and delta areas are around 220 million years old.

Here you can take your first short break. An information board explains the wall. Great for children who want to play at conquering a castle.

At the "Roter Puhl" the Enz has cut the beech slope at a stately height. Here, in bright orange-red colors, the middle red sandstone rock of the Triassic geologic age can be seen. These deposits in river and delta areas are about 220 million years old. The oblique stratification of the sandstone visible in the bedrock in alternating layers with horizontal strata and gravel bands testifies to the different flow conditions of the primordial waters. The arch's shape is the result of thousands of years of exposure to water from the meandering Enz River. The surface of the rock face is still subject to constant weathering, in places the rock is slightly more porous. An interesting insight into the floor structure can be obtained in the upper part. The overlying Earths here only reach a thickness of less than a meter. Natural crevices provide nesting and breeding grounds for the kingfisher, which is native to the area.

"This footfall cross", almost two meters high with a metal body and the writing 1808/1904, is attached to the village community center. At first it stood under a pear tree in a garden, in the so-called "Menschen-Päsch". Tradition has it that it was erected there out of gratitude when Irrhausen was raised to a parish in 1808. When the Irrhausen elementary school was built on this property in 1904, the cross was moved a few meters further to its current location. For centuries, the annual Corpus Christi and vow procession on the occasion of the fair took place in Irrhausen in addition to the so-called seven footfall crosses. These processions were and are to this day an expression of the village community and a feeling of togetherness. The term "footfall cross" is derived from the kneeling prayer on the cross. On the way to the crosses the rosary is prayed and blessing prayers follow at the crosses or chapels. " https://www.islek.info/wandern/alle-wanderwege/a-wegekreuz-wanderweg-irrhausen

Also unique on the route is the "Rote Puhl", a rock face made of red sandstone. The foundation of this Bunsadsteinwand extends into the Enz flowing there and is a geological feature. Part of the local gorge hike, easy hike over approx. 7 km includes three highlights: the Stations of the Cross, the Passion of Jesus, carved by the artist Müller Rodin into oak tree trunks approx.
