This route takes its name from three gorges in the Islek and Bitburger Land. The deeply incised sandstone gorges offer magnificent views of walls and cascades of red sandstone. There are also wonderful views of the surrounding Enz valley.
Another highlight is the "Tongrube" nature reserve, a former clay mining area, which is now a great habitat for endangered birds, amphibians and reptiles.
