Karlstalschlucht, Protected natural area in Trippstadt, Germany
The Karlstalschlucht features a narrow valley with wooden bridges crossing a stream that meanders through massive rock formations and dense forest.
Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell, who designed the English Garden in Munich, transformed this valley into a landscape park around 1790 near Trippstadt Castle.
The site contains a commemorative iron plaque marking the visit of royal guests in August 1862, reflecting its status among German nobility.
A 10-kilometer circular hiking trail starts in Trippstadt center, passes through the gorge, and requires about three hours to complete with 335 meters elevation gain.
The protected area harbors 170 different moss species, including 31 rare varieties, making it a notable location for botanical research.
