Through the Tscheppa Gorge to Bodental
-
Tschaukofall, Tscheppaschlucht
The hike through the wild and romantic gorge impressively presents the elemental force of water and is particularly recommended on a hot day. As you ascend via paths, ladders and bridges, your breathing rate and excitement increase. The impressive spiral staircase, the spectacular suspension bridge and the thundering Tschaukofall with its rock gate are the high points along the way. The hike comes to a leisurely end in the Loibl or Bodental valleys.
There are several gratings along the way, which dogs are reluctant or unable to enter. It is sometimes necessary to carry dogs over these areas. The path is also steep and narrow in places, which can make it difficult to walk with dogs!
