In addition to the natural experience, many bridges in the form of a log walkway are an aha moment. But don't worry, even though they look graceful – everything is very stable and equipped with a handrail.

How about a kick of freshness for your feet? Then get out of your shoes and into the pool. The pastor Sebastian Kneipp made Kneipp socially acceptable in the 19th century. Therapy is now part of the intangible cultural heritage.

July 2, 2022, Wanderung durch die Gauchachschlucht.

Today on a very nice tour through the wild and romantic Gauchach Gorge. A particularly beautiful tour with a magnificent Alpine panorama.

Very nice route along the Gauchach. The water level shouldn't have been much higher, otherwise it would have been impossible to go past bridge 12.

A cozy "Sunday morning family round" Very nice route that grazes the Gauchach Gorge. However, if you want to experience the Gauchach Gorge (great!), You should choose a slightly larger tour

Translated by Google

Is a very nice tour in warm weather, even with a dog but not suitable for prams. You walk a lot along the water. Good shoes are required and you should be sure-footed.

Thank you Uwe for the company and the nice conversations on this tour, where the last 400 m are missing, Komoot drew the line after the church visit.

Translated by Google

Very nice. Must see! Pretty cool trail paths in the gorge. Just think, in midsummer, the narrow paths are too overgrown. PS You can park on the shoulder of the meadow at the farmer's. You go above into the chapel and further down to bridge 9. That's the starting point. At the end of the route, of course, up again.

Today the Gauchach was ours alone 😊 We also did the Balgenbächle as an adventure tour. 👍 Again, highly recommended, even though it was wet and muddy.
