Did the tour but didn't record it. Therefore clicked together afterwards. Interesting that Komoot gives a time and creates a speed profile.

The hiking trail through the Wimbachklamm leads over a wooden footbridge, steps and small bridges, the path is approx. 200 m long.

Beautiful tour that is a bit steep in places. But the walk is worth it for the Wimbachschloss inn. Beautiful location and great food.

My/our standard welcome tour on our BGL vacation took us, as usual, through the beautiful Wimbach Gorge 😍
Due to the heavy rain, there was a lot of roaring water this time.
Afterwards, we took a relaxing hike through the Wimbachgries to Wimbach Castle, where we enjoyed a lovely break with a delicious snack and isotonic drinks 🍻
We simply …
