Ravenna Gorge
Ravennaschlucht
A gorge trail beside the “Hell Valley,” with waterfalls, wooden walkways and a towering railway viaduct; in winter there is a popular illuminated Christmas market.
Ravenna Gorge lies near Breitnau, where the Ravenna stream forms a series of waterfalls. A roughly 3–4 km loop trail follows wooden walkways and steps through the gorge, passing an old sawmill and a water mill, with the stone arch viaduct of the Höllentalbahn (Hell Valley Railway) spanning overhead. At the mouth of the gorge, Hofgut Sternen is a 700-year-old inn where Goethe once stayed. On weekends from November to December, a illuminated Christmas market is held beneath the viaduct, and tickets must be bought online in advance.
