Neckargerach: Margaretenschlucht Gorge

Neckargerach on the Neckar is home to a striking natural attraction: the Margaretenschlucht Gorge. The gorge, carved into Bunter sandstone, stretches for around four kilometres between Neckargerach and Reichenbuch. When choosing a holiday apartment, its location relative to your planned starting point matters; the place name alone does not mean that the gorge hike is easy.

Explore the Margaretenschlucht Gorge with care

The gorge has eight waterfall tiers and offers views of the Neckar. The trail is very steep, has high steps and can be slippery when wet. It is not a suitable walk for every fitness level or in all weather. The Margaretenschlucht Gorge has been a nature reserve since 1940. Stay on permitted paths, observe any closures, and do not damage the rocks or plants. The four kilometres describe the extent of the Bunter sandstone gorge between the villages, not necessarily the length of an easy circular route.

Accommodation after your visit to the natural attraction

Before setting out for the gorge, check which access point is currently open, the trail conditions and how to return safely. You can then compare the address of an available holiday apartment. Price, amenities and availability depend on the individual property. If you do not want to walk a steep trail, you can consider Neckargerach as a town on the Neckar without making the gorge a must-see. The available facts about the town do not establish any other specifically verified attractions or holiday-home features. For regional orientation: Neckar-Odenwald District.
