We walked several gorges but this is not the typical one. Go prepared. Normally you park your car en walk the paved route through the gorge and back. The total length of the wutach gorge though is 119 km! It is not all the time a walk through the gorge next to the water. It consists of several gorges which are connected with lots of hiking trails of several lengths. Along the 119 km there are several parking spots and there is also a bus line which you can take to several spots along the route. With the Schwarzwald cart it is free to use. We parked the car at schattenmuhle, one of the larger parkings with also a bus stop. Be early because it can be crowded. We hiked route 5 (at the parking area there is a large map with all routes on it). Here you will walk along the Wutach, through the Lotenbachklamm and along the panoramaweg. The sign said it is 8 km but it was 10,5 km. Good shoes are necessary because the stumps and stones are wet and there is a lot of climbing. You can skip the panoramaweg by taking the bus. It was a nice route but we hoped for more "gorge" walking. Now it was also next to a road for several km.
If you want to enjoy the Wutachschlucht to the fullest you have to take several days. We will come back sometime to walk the other gorges which are part of the Wutachschlucht.

Great place to visit Spring to Autumn, Winter not really recommended. Easy access also with public transport. Places to stay and eat along the way. Can do day hike or multi-day hike. Good information on internet.
During summer refreshing swimming, including skinny dipping

Chill trip! Almost 1,5 km in one way , the cascades are beautifull. If you are nearby , it’s worth a few hours .
