Wutach Ravine
The Wutach is a river, 91 kilometres long, in the southeastern part of the Black Forest in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is a right-hand tributary of the Rhine. In its lower reaches it flows for about 6 kilometres along the border with the canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Name The name Wutach means "furious water", referring to the whitewater rapids in the gorge. ''Wut'' is recognisably cognate to a modern German word for anger; ''ach'', which forms part of the names of many rivers in the region, comes from an old Celtic word for water, cognate with Latin ''aqua''.

The Seebuck drops steeply eastwards into the Feldsee lake, through which the ''Seebach'' flows, a stream that is later called the ''Gutach'' and then the Wutach (river), Wutach. The ''Felsenweg'' ("Rock Path") which runs from the summit area down the steep mountainside to the Feldsee is only suitable for hikers with robust footwear and sure-footedness, but is very attractive thanks to its varied route and views of the Feldsee below.
