Ravenna Gorge

The gorge stretches across 4 kilometers through dense forest and rocky formations, where Ravenna stream creates two waterfalls measuring 16 and 6 meters in height, accessible through narrow hiking paths.

St. Oswald Chapel from 1148 stands near Ravenna Bridge and received prominent travelers over the centuries, including Marie Antoinette during her journey to France and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

The winter market beneath the railway viaduct combines regional craftsmanship with natural surroundings, where visitors purchase Black Forest specialties and handmade goods during Advent weekends each year.

Hiking trails require sturdy footwear and extra caution during wet conditions due to slippery surfaces and steep sections, while parking facilities are available at the entrance near Breitnau.

A 37-meter-high railway viaduct spans the lower section, enabling train traffic between Freiburg and Donaueschingen, with its stone arch construction remaining operational since the late 19th century.
