Der mystische Schlund des Talos

Tourist attraction

👍👍 On a hike along the Philosophenweg I came across a mystical something. It was a whisper, an illusion, a metaphor for the loud silence that surrounds us in current times. It took me deep into the forest, deeper than I had ever ventured. Then I heard it: a long, drawn-out screech that slowly got loude... People often mention forest,

    On a hike along the Philosophenweg I came across a mystical something. It was a whisper, an illusion, a metaphor for the loud silence that surrounds us in current times. It took me deep into the forest, deeper than I had ever ventured. Then I heard it: a long, drawn-out screech that slowly got louder. It tugged at my eardrums, penetrated deep into my head and suddenly, it was quiet... I was standing next to a murky pond, fed by a glowing spring. Just below the dirty surface of the water I saw it: the spirit of Talos! He emerged slowly, like an old creature awakening from his torpor. The water rippled, its head broke the surface, and its maw descended over me...

    In fact the place is fake. Here, a few funny colleagues had fun creating artificial hype with esoteric fake reviews. On site you will find a pond that is neither beautiful nor special. What is much more interesting is that there is a rain collection basin further up that the city uses to assess the risk of flooding.

    At first I didn't understand anything, absolutely nothing. But then I immersed myself and became one with Iden of Talos. Not immediately and not uncontrollably, but where there was only green, it suddenly happened. And the hand. Yes, the hand.

    For a long time the exact depth of this "pond" was unclear, only quite late, in 1973 Karl Großmüller managed to explore this cave in a spectacular dive and prove a connection to the Neckar. The rumors about monsters in this pond may also come from a catfish from the Neckar that got lost there because of the very close connection. It's definitely worth a visit, but in summer pond lenses block the view into the depths of the Talos throat. Therefore only 4 stars.

    A very powerful place from which an inexplicable energy emanates... Many legends surround this mystical location, but none can describe the fascination that grips you when you are there. 10/10 recommended

    We were once transported into the mystical world of Talos. We were blind, but His wisdom gave us sight. He lifted the veil from our eyes and opened up to us infinite myriads of worlds of reflection and philosophical knowledge. We lost ourselves further and further into the depths of our souls and immersed ourselves in the unspoken secret of life with previously unknown intensity.

    Really nice place in the forest, ideal for a little hike. Everyone has to find out for themselves whether the place really harbors mystical energies.

    So the bench at the top of the Odenwälder Hütte (start of the shortcut) is nice to rest. The path is an alternative trail as a shortcut to the forest path. The pool at the end of the path is and remains a pool. The comments here are truly mystical and consume our brains :)

    Since I was convinced that all the fuss about this place was nonsense, I wandered there without any expectations. At first it was just a beautiful forest. But when I arrived at the center of the Maw (according to GPS), I experienced an unidentifiable inner unrest. The center of the abyss shook my physical, spiritual and spiritual center from within, so that I enlightenedly perceived that I myself am the forest in which I am currently wandering. Now I know that the faster I walk, the older I get, the harder I tread, the unhealthier my human cortex (skin) appears. When I stepped out of the forest I was no longer the same and since then my life has completely changed and I am happier than ever.
