On Sunday, 18.01.2026, we set off on a demanding and unforgettable hike through the wild and mysterious Brohltal. This route blends ancient Roman engineering, volcanic landscapes, and hidden caves, taking us deep into forests, gorges, and historic quarries where time seems to have stood still.

Expect a true explorer’s trail:
🏛 ancient Roman quarry walls carved into volcanic rock
🕳 atmospheric trass caves and rocky passages
🌲 dense forests, narrow valleys, and dramatic geology
⛰ steady climbs rewarded with remote nature and silence
