The short but challenging trail leads through the spectacular and wildly romantic Gauchach Gorge. The route runs along the rushing stream past impressive rock formations and through charming forest. At the top of the plateau, there is an impressive view, which makes the climb particularly worthwhile.

This delightful but demanding tour is characterized by the wildly romantic Rötenbach Gorge. With a large number of trails, rustic forests and lots of water, the hike offers a particularly natural experience. Especially in the long gorge passage, the landscape appears almost untouched in places, while steeply sloping slopes require sure-footedness. The Hörnle viewpoint and the species-rich, flower-rich meadows of the “Rötenbacher Wiesen” nature reserve provide additional variety.

The Sauschwänzleweg is ideally combined with a trip on the historic Sauschwänzle Railway. The Blumberg-Zollhaus train station is recommended as a starting point. From there, after the train ride from Lausheim-Blumegg, the tour takes you back through varied landscapes. Alternatively, the route can also be hiked the other way around. Please note the train times and costs.
