Marienschlucht
The 5 Marienschlucht is closed until further notice due to a landslide in 2015. It is a natural monument on the southern bank of the Überlinger See near the district of Langenrain. The narrow gorge was created by a stream that has dug deep into the ground. Wooden stairs are used to descend between 30 m high rock faces to the lake, some of which are only 1 m wide. The brook rushes under the stairs. The Marienschlucht is located between Bodman and Wallhausen on the southern steep bank of the Überlinger See. It's a good 6 km walk from Bodman and around 4 km from Wallhausen. You could also take the ship to the Marienschlucht, which is approached 3 times a day.Shipping Bodman.
