As Verena already mentioned: based on the maps you get the impression that there is no continuous path between the Rütiweid car park and the viewpoint below the Witwald ruins - but in fact there is a narrow path that is marked with white (sometimes also blue) dots on the trees and leads over a steep staircase.

Very nice varied gorge, with some barbecue areas that invite you to linger. Unfortunately a bit crowded on weekends when the weather is nice.
