Three Gorges Adventure Tour

Start: Drei-Schluchten-Halle car park, Schluchtweg 10, 79843 Löffingen
Parking at the start: Drei-Schluchten-Halle car park
Public transport: Wutachschlucht hiking bus

(S/E) The walk starts at the Drei-Schluchten-Halle in Bachheim. There, we can grab a bite to eat at the village kiosk in Bachheim before or after the walk. There are also toilets available at the Drei-Schluchten-Halle.

(1) The path takes us straight down into the gorge.

(2) We then head downstream to the Gauchach estuary. Here we cross the Kanadiersteg, a covered wooden bridge. Along this stretch of the route, we can marvel at the hallmark of the Wutach Gorge: the impressive rock galleries.

We now leave the Freiburg–Lake Constance cross-country trail and head left, walking upstream along the Gauchach towards Burgmühle.

(3) The route takes us through the wild and romantic Gauchach Gorge, past Burgmühle to the Engeschlucht junction.

(4) There, we keep to the left. Even in dry weather, there are a few slippery patches and, time and again, narrow paths along the rocks where taut steel cables provide a handhold. You still need to be careful at these points, though! For less fit walkers, there is therefore a diversion.

(5) The path leads us out of the gorge to the left, up an embankment. We then turn right and follow meadow paths back towards the hiking car park.

(6) We cross Oberburg Road and turn right at the next junction, then take the second left and turn right to return to the hiking car park (S/E)

Equipment:
We recommend sturdy footwear! A sure foot and a head for heights are absolutely essential.
