Massendorfer Schlucht, Natural gorge in Spalt, Germany
The Massendorf Gorge extends for 300 meters through sandstone formations, reaching depths of 20 meters and displaying distinct rock layers.
The geological formation developed over centuries as water eroded the Burgsandstein, creating visible layers that document the regional geological history.
Local residents maintain hiking trails through the gorge, integrating this natural formation into the regional network of outdoor recreational paths.
A designated parking area south of Massendorf provides access to the gorge, with a ten-minute walk leading to the main entrance.
A small stream emerges at the upper section of the gorge, carving through sandstone and forming natural cave-like structures along its path.
