The gorge can be easily accessed with these two bridges. If you have space, you should stay here for a moment and let nature work its magic on you.

The path to the Ravenna Gorge is already packed with highlights. Past old saws, mills and the rope factory, you will also pass a lot of highlights here. When you arrive at the Ravenna Gorge, it is definitely one of the most beautiful in the Black Forest. In summer the fir trees provide pleasant shade. In winter there is also a romantic Christmas market in the Black Forest ambience. So immerse yourself in a spectacular winter landscape, where you can warm up afterwards with punch and cookies. Increasing the anticipation of Christmas included!

Ödenbach Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Ödenbach is a small district of Breitnau in the Upper Black Forest. The hamlet is south-east of the town center and consists of a small number of individual farms. Ödenbach first appeared in writing in the 15th century. Ödenbach has belonged to the Vogtei Steig since the Middle Ages and came with Steig to Breitnau in 1936. A stream of the same name flows through Ödenbach. It is one of the main tributaries of the Ravenna, which flows wildly and romantically through the Ravenna Gorge.

The Ravenna Gorge is always beautiful. We have often walked the way over the Löffeltal, so today I wanted to try the variant over the Piketfelsen and Breitnau and was not disappointed.
Since I started early, I had the Ravenna Gorge all to myself on the way there. 2 hours later on the way back there was a lot more …

Today we escaped the fog again, this time to Breitnau. The section through the Ravenna Gorge is recommended. But there wasn't a bench or parking bay on the whole tour that wasn't "occupied". Everyone wanted to soak up the sun.🌞

It is a wonderful and varied hike. In the last quarter of the route, the narrow path leads steeply down the mountain in serpentines. This path should only be taken in dry weather - otherwise there is a risk of slipping.

It is better not to start the tour with the Ravenna Gorge, as signposted, but to walk in the opposite direction. Because the last descent is steep and narrow and consists of gravel, stones and sand. Danger of slipping, especially in the rain!
