Hiking in the Dragon Gorge

It all starts at a wooden gate with a dragon and leads into the 250 million year old rocky gorge. Rare plants like the devil's claw or the toothwort but also mosses and ferns can be discovered along the Steinbach.

Depending on the position of the sun and weather conditions, everything is bathed in a unique light. Then - a small waterfall, the overgrown rocks move closer and closer together and get higher and higher, the stream suddenly roars under your feet, it gets cool and dusky and sometimes touchingly quiet. It is difficult to describe the unique charm of the Dragon Gorge at the foot of the Wartburg Castle in words and we invite you to enter this stage of nature personally. Experience the Dragon Gorge. 

Guided tours through the Dragon Gorge 

The Dragon Gorge is fascinating. Here, the constant force of the water has created a unique place over millions of years, which leaves us astonished and will be remembered. Some areas in the surroundings are total reservations, because the geological natural monument is worthy of protection. Therefore, we preferably offer guided hiking tours through the biotope. However, you can also go on your own and on your own initiative: the gorge can be entered freely.
