Wolfsschlucht Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Wonderfully rustic gorge in which you have to find your way. A real insider tip and very different in character than the much better known Monbachtal, which is nearby.

April 30, 2023,Wolfschlucht – Kloster(ruine) Runde von Hirsau

Today with Flocke 🐶 did a tour from Hirsau Monastery via the weir in Ernstmühl to the Wolfschlucht.
We are always amazed by the spectacular small side valleys and gorges. Natural, challenging paths and places where you wouldn't be surprised to see hobbits and trolls 😉
Then through the Kurpark Hirsau back to the monastery and as a reward an …

Today's planning should meet the criteria: short, cool, spectacular and in the end there should be a nice cafe. Hirsau and the Wolf Gorge are ideal. And everything was fine.

October 2, 2023,Kloster Hirsau ⛪️Wolfsschlucht🐺Runde🔄

This morning we drove to Hirsau, parked there and the monastery wasn't far. It was still beautifully quiet and unique in front of us. We enjoyed the time at the beautiful information boards and also briefly visited the chapel.
The path continued into the town cut off from the main road to go up the Brudersteig. After about 1km you …

Beautiful round from Hirsau train station. The path leads via the monastery and brother cave into the Wolfsschlucht. For these, sure-footedness is necessary even in good weather. In places, slippery rocks have to be overcome.

May 20, 2025,Hirsau über die Bruderhöhle und Ernstmühl weiter zur Wolfsschlucht und absteigen über die Fuchsklinge

Started behind the spa gardens in Hirsau.

For the second time, we entered the Wolfsschlucht (Wolf Gorge), which is very impressive, but unfortunately still has very little water.
First, a beautiful climb to the Bruderhöle (Bruderhöle), then back down and via Ernstmühl towards the gorge.
The Wolfsschlucht (Wolf Gorge) is an alpine hiking trail that requires some climbing.
The return …

August 25, 2021,Bruderhöhle und Wolfsschlucht von Hirsau

This time I'm going on my own and actually wanted to hike the two Wolfsschluchten (Ernstmühl and Bad Teinach) in one day. However, since all access roads to Ernstmühl are currently closed due to road works, I ended up in Hirsau first. There I discovered the circuit to the Bruderhöhle and started the ascent. At the top, however, I noticed …

July 30, 2022,um Hirsau Bruderhöhle & Wolfsschlucht

Hirsau is a source of things worth seeing and impressive not only in town.
It is best to park outside or on Saturdays at the game reserve.

Out of the village we go into the forest to the Brother cave trail.
After the brother cave descend again via Ernstmühl up to the Wolfsschlucht.
The Wolfsschlucht has edge paths that go …
