Brief description

Am Fuße des Hochhäderichs entstand am Ende der Eiszeit ein See. Die Bolgenach bahnte sich ihren Weg durch den Felsen, der die "Staumauer" des Sees bildete. So entstand die Kommaschlucht. 15 Meter über dem Wasser überspannt seit fast 300 Jahren die Kommabrücke, die älteste gedeckte Holzbrücke des Landes, Ach und Schlucht.

At the end of the Ice Age, a lake emerged at the foot of the Hochhäderich. The Bolgenach carved its path out of the cliffs which formed the "dam wall" of the lake. And so the Komma gorge arose. For almost 300 years, the Komma bridge has been crossing the river and the gorge at a height of 15 m: this bridge is the oldest covered bridge in the province.
