particularities
From 1971 onwards, 15 bridges were built over the Hasselbach by the Weilerer Wanderfreunde Steckeschlääfer, making the gorge accessible for hiking . Member Franz Kellermeier carved 46 small works of art, mostly faces, into suitable trees. Later he received support from the wood carving circle of Heimatfreunde Weiler . For many years now, the two Klammgeist carvers Ingrid Pietsch and Heike Steinmeier have been responsible for maintaining the carvings and for redesigning forest spirits in the gorge.
More than 65 hand-carved forest spirit faces, goblins, gnomes, dwarfs and other mythical creatures that have been carved into trees, tree stumps and roots along the gorge can be found in the gorge.
Since the development, the Weilerer Wanderfreunde Steckeschlääfer have sponsored this gorge. They maintain and maintain the bridges and paths in the gorge as part of work assignments.
