Margaretenschlucht, Canyon nature reserve in Neckargerach, Germany.
The Margaretenschlucht canyon stretches 300 meters through red sandstone formations, featuring eight distinct waterfall levels descending 110 meters in total height.
The area gained protected status in January 1940 through a decree from the Baden Ministry of Culture and Education, establishing 5.1 hectares of conservation land.
The canyon contains preserved Chirotherien fossil tracks in its upper section, providing evidence of ancient animal life in the regional sandstone formations.
Visitors can access the main canyon through designated hiking trails, while the secondary Eisenbuschgraben gorge remains closed to public entry.
The waterfall cascade system within Margaretenschlucht ranks as the highest in Odenwald, with its largest single drop measuring 10 meters.
