The Marienschlucht is probably the “most picturesque gorge by Lake Constance” and is situated within a unique nature conservation and recreation area. Since a landslide in May 2015 which resulted in a fatality, the gorge has been closed to the public. This situation is about to change with the introduction of a new walkway at a height of roughly 10 m above the stream bed and additional rock stabilisation measures, so the public will soon be able to experience the Marienschlucht at first hand once again. In addition to the work in the Marienschlucht itself, a fundamentally new concept for a system of paths has been developed. To make the approach from Bodman along the foot of the Mondfelsen rock face safe, a strategy involving rangers with regular inspections of the steep slopes combined with instrumentation techniques is being deployed. The instrumentation comprises humidity sensors, inclinometers and crack-opening sensors. The values are transmitted and evaluated in real time. Access can temporarily be blocked via a warning and alarm system if a particularly hazardous situation arises. By combining the above measures, it is anticipated that the public will once again be able to experience the beauty of the Marienschlucht towards the end of 2025.
