Cliff Path along the Wutach Gorge

Highlight • Trail

Very beautiful and idyllic path. But always keep your eyes open where you are going! It is not entirely safe. Sturdy shoes with a good tread are important here!

Wutach resurgence

Highlight • Natural Monument

Here, the water that seeps away a few hundred meters upstream at the old Rümmelesteg resurfaces in several places.

The covered Canadian Bridge forms the end of the middle Wutach Gorge and was built by Canadian pioneers in 1976. It leads from the mouth of the Gauchach to the …

Gauchach Gorge

The Gauchach is for me personally the nicer part of the gorge! Here you often walk very close to the water, sometimes it is even necessary to walk over stones …

Gauchach Waterfall

This stair waterfall is striking and yet quite large for such a small stream. Very nice photo motif.

Narrow trail along the Gauchach in the Gauchach Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The narrow paths near the bank, often located under a protruding rock face, sometimes even going directly through the water, are the spice of a hiking tour through adventurously appearing …

Waterfall where the Balgenbach meets the Gauchach

Highlight • Waterfall

Fairytale beautiful scenery there, but please visit only with good shoes as there are some slippery spots and the paths change depending on the height of the water level.

July 8, 2023,3-Schluchten Tour - Genießerpfad

Die "3-Schluchten-Tour" ist nominiert für "Deutschlands Schönster Wanderweg 2023". Hat sie diese Nominierung verdient?

Die meisten in unserer Region werden die Wutachschlucht kennen. Ich liebe diese urwüchsige Schlucht mit ihren bizarren Felsformationen und hochaufstrebenden Felswänden.
Ebenso die Gauchachschlucht mit ihren vielen kleinen Wasserfällen sowie den kleinen Brücken und Stege, die immer wieder über die Gauchach führen.
Zu diesen zwei Schluchten …

February 11, 2023,3-Schluchten-Tour bei Bachheim 🇩🇪

Passed through gorges on the tour:
• Wutach Gorge
• Gauchach Gorge
• Tränkebach Gorge

---
Various dangers on the route (rockfalls, danger of slipping due to ice in winter, cold water, damaged bridges...). If possible, do the tour with several people. Sturdy, waterproof footwear is a must on this tour, as are gloves or similar to hold on to …

May 15, 2025,Gauchach-Enge-und Wutachschlucht

I finally managed to hike through the Gauchach Gorge. Peter53 recently pointed out that the Enschlucht Gorge is also currently accessible, so I decided to do it at short notice. Otherwise, I probably would have put off this hike even longer. Thanks Peter for the info! 👋
I started at Peter's trail parking lot and walked along a super-beautiful, rooty, …

July 2, 2025,Löffingen-Posthaus: Paradiestour Gauchachrunde + Genießerpfad Drei-Schluchten-Tour⭐️⭐️⭐️

Before you call me crazy: no, our brains weren't boiled, and no, we didn't come back as prunes! How did we manage that? We started at 7:00 a.m. in Posthaus at a pleasant 16°C, first the steep climb to Döggingen and the grassy path, then the small road and forest path in the sun along Döggingen, down into the cool …

September 6, 2021,Gauchachschlucht, Teufelsloch und viele Brücken

Entry into the Wutach Gorge near Bachheim, hiking car park, lots of parking space available. Upstream to the mouth of the Gauchach. Gauchach upstream. At the Enge Schlucht junction, be sure to continue! That's when it gets really wild ...
The way back via Enge Schlucht was mega muddy and there was no water in the gorge either.
But the …

August 23, 2024,Gauchachschlucht – Felsenpfad Runde von Döggingen

A beautiful, wild gorge that offers varied views around every bend of the river.
The natural path never gets boring and you literally dance from stone to stone through the gorge.

September 3, 2024,Mix von Gauchach- und Wutachschlucht 🏞🌳🌲🌿🌾🦋🐿🦌🌤🤩 ab Döggingen Bf ➡️ Bachheim Bf, Dienstag, 03.09.24

Gauchach and Wutach Gorges (accessible by public transport: DB Regio, D-Ticket). Tour starts at Bräunlingen-Döggingen train station. The Gauchach Gorge was almost deserted, with more people only appearing at the Engeschlucht junction. The Engeschlucht Gorge is difficult to traverse; I advise against it. Burgmühle on the Gauchach River is a great rest stop 😋🍺🍰☕️. At the Kanadiersteg footbridge, the Gauchach …
