Giessenbach Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Gießenbachklamm is an easy going gorge. There are a few steps (just under 100) until you're up, so unfortunately not suitable for strollers. Otherwise very suitable for children.
No danger spots and entertaining. No entry.

Be careful when going downhill. ICE is particularly common in sections where the sun hardly reaches in winter.

If you are in Bayrischzell, you absolutely have to see the waterfall. The path there is not strenuous, but in winter it can be a bit slippery.

It's nasty here in winter when there's still ice and snow. But in summer it's beautiful. Car traffic is rare, but it can happen. So be careful!
