Trail Reviews
...the destination is spectacular. 😊 On-site, you can pay a small fee per car and per person (in the car) at the parking meter (as is the case almost everywhere). The route, just under 3 km, is relatively manageable; it starts at 1,100 meters. The estimated time of up to 3 hours (one way) is more than exaggerated. Anyone who is a "normal" walker can manage the up and down within 1 hour (one way). If you're energetic, the entire route can be completed in just under 1 3/4 hours. Then the ice cream or Coke is more than deserved. The view is definitely amazing and 👍 . PS: there's a small (!) waterfall at the end.
A huge canyon with fantastic views, several short viewpoints in the lower part of the canyon, a longer hike in the upper section – be careful when it rains, it gets very slippery – highly recommended tour, best finished with a meal at the food trucks in Weimar (cheap and good).
Bring bathing suit and swimming shoes for the trail and dry clean warm clothes to change after the hike in case of rain
Be sure to wear sturdy shoes!!! Very nice hike, partly streaky and slippery. The view is worth all the effort!
