A bit of a long journey, but so worth it. The weather threatened thunderstorms and rain on the way there. When we arrived, we had perfect hiking weather. The path through the Lochbach Gorge is spectacular. You'll need to be sure-footed. Some of the bridges looked a bit old and dilapidated. A cool path in summer. Such beautiful paths and …

The Lochbachklamm is a narrow notched valley (narrow valley) in the Knüll. The Lochbach flows through it. This flows into the Efze. An approximately 1 km long hiking trail with a total of 21 bridges and footbridges leads through the gorge. The Waldbach overcomes a difference in altitude of 150, the ascent is easy to manage.

The Lochbachklamm has been on my list for a while, I read about it in the newspaper and also saw tours on komoot.
Sultry, warm heat, so I thought, take a look at the Lochbachklamm, water in the shady forest seems ideal at that temperature.
Yeeeee, what can I say, I should have lowered my expectations of a gorge a …

On a day off you have to go for a walk, and it was also a good opportunity to test new equipment and take advantage of the weather window.
A beautiful and varied hiking trail, through forest, across fields and then through the Lochbach 'klamm'. It was fun to run and Knoppers also enjoyed running in open spaces and splashing …

Today I took advantage of the nice weather again for a little hike in the Knüll Nature Park: luckily I was out early and had the gorge almost to myself.

At the beginning I counted the bridges, but at some point I forgot 😅.... There are definitely a lot of them 😊! I walked the gorge a few years ago, …
