Wäller Tour Brexbachschluchtweg (round tour - premium hiking trail)

Center Grenzau

In the middle of Grenzau we follow the markings up to Grenzau Castle. On a rustic forest path we walk up to the striking rocks at the crossroads at Kaiserstuhl. Here we turn left to the rock spur where a bench is waiting for us. Equipped with sturdy shoes, the path leads us in serpentines down into the Brexbach valley. In the valley we turn onto a forest trail, which leads to a forest path. We follow this through the high forest and reach the floodplain again. Over a meadow we pass the viaduct. After the next viaduct we change into the forest. Thus we reach the tracks of the Brexbachtalbahn. We follow the stream around the mountain spur, cross the railroad line and arrive at a forest crossing. Now we turn onto a path into the side valley. With a few detours we conquer the terrain nose at the Teufelsberg and overlook the Brexbachtal valley. After 8.5 km our view wanders over the Neuwieder Becken. At a forest road we turn to the forest, which is replaced by meadows. We walk downhill past the model airfield until we meet a road. We follow this road to the outskirts of Alsbach. Behind the village community center we walk again towards open fields. At the edge of the forest we turn right and a little later on a crossroads. On a path we go through a deeply cut gorge. We walk to the road and turn right there. Soon a path leads us into the Masselbachtal. A dreamlike ascent follows. Finally we arrive at the K116 and use the "Kammerforster Steig", which leads to the train station Grenzau. We cross the road and turn onto a forest path. This leads us under a viaduct back to Grenzau.
