Mountain hikes Educational Nature Trail Glocke

Description

Start in Finkenberg/Dornau at the Teufelsbrücke (Devil's Bridge) - Opposite the old wooden bridge from 1876, between the houses Grünberg (300) and Carmen (301), trail 32 begins along the Tuxbach gorge through the forest. The roar of the Tuxbach can be clearly heard in the gorge, which is up to 70 m deep. Trail 32 runs past the cemetery towards Hochsteg. At the fork, trail 32 b leads uphill to Hotel Aussicht (306). From the hotel car park, trail 32 a branches left into the forest and leads back to the starting point.
TIP: At the indicator plant board just behind the hotel car park of the "Aussicht" you will find the stamp of the Schluchtwelt for the discovery pass!

Various types of plant life can be found in the Glocke: Rocks are covered with drying foliage and, unusually for the region, the forests are a deciduous mix of lime and beech trees. The plant life is particularly impressive along the edge of the Tuxer Gorge - a ravine which reaches depths of up to 70 m in the areas of the Devil's and Cemetery Bridges. Display boards along the route provide information on forest habitats, the geological development and a history of how humans have used the forest to their benefits. Route: Start in Finkenberg/Dornau at Devil's Bridge - foot path no. 32 and 32b Tip - Devil's Bridge: The legendary Devil's Bridge is well worth a visit. This rare timber construction work was built in 1876, spanning the gorge where the tumultuous Tux River flows.
