Schwarzach-Durchbruch, Protected natural area near Schwarzenbruck and Wendelstein, Germany
The Schwarzach-Durchbruch spans 1.5 square kilometers of land, featuring steep sandstone cliffs carved by the Schwarzach River through geological formations.
The area received its protected status in 1936 and became part of the European Natura 2000 network to maintain its natural habitats and geological structures.
The Gustav-Adolf Cave within the gorge marks the location where Swedish King Gustav Adolf attended a sermon after a victory in 1632.
Visitors can access the area through parking facilities at Brückkanal, Feucht service station, or via S-Bahn line 3 to Ochenbruck station.
The geological formations date back 215 million years, with the river creating numerous caves and distinctive weathering patterns in the sandstone walls.
