Circular hiking trail in Baden-Württemberg
This quality hiking trail enchants you with wild nature. A foot-wide path leads into the gorge of the Wilde Gutach. Tree roots and stones require sure-footedness, but also create a special atmosphere.
A signpost marks the descent to the Hexenlochmühle mill, whose mill wheel is a world-famous photo motif - definitely worth a detour.
The trail then goes up and down until you can enjoy great views from the heights.
