Schinderbach / Rosengartenschlucht In the middle of Imst is the entrance to one of the most beautiful gorges in Austria and one of the most valuable biotopes in Tyrol. The Schinderbach roars through the 2 km long Rosengarten gorge - a spectacle that can be observed from the path that leads through the gorge. The Rosengartenschlucht is highly valued as one of the most valuable biotopes in Tyrol. It is also a treasure trove, especially for geologists, as millions of years of earth's history are reflected here. The Rosengartenschlucht begins at the Johanneskirche right in the city center of Imst. The gorge, which is bordered by a 100 m high rock wall, becomes increasingly narrower and leads to the Blue Grotto, a small cave in which silver-containing galena was searched for as early as Roman times. From the Blue Grotto you then reach Hoch-Imst and can either hike back to Imst via the Wetterkreuz or continue your tour with the Imster Bergbahnen and the Alpine Coaster Imst.
