    The wild and romantic Wolfsschlucht invites you to take a trip. The Tönissteiner Bach, which rises shortly after the village of Wassenach, first passes idyllically situated trout ponds, only to plunge several meters straight behind it and then meander wildly to find its way through volcanic ash to the Brohlbach.
