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.

Sachs-Steg Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Today's Sachs Bridge consists of two steel bridge sections that were placed on reinforced foundations by helicopter in 2019 to better protect and stabilize the bridge against weather and flood damage.

June 6, 2023,🥾 Gießenbachklamm 🦎🌲

Great little hike 🥾. The way through the gorge is not long but really beautiful. The Schopper Alm is absolutely for families, the children will have a lot of fun there. From the Schopper Alm it's a forest road 🌲🪵 to Troyer, a mountain farm with a long history. From there via a relatively steep asphalt road back to the …

March 29, 2024,Gießenbachklamm – Schopper Alm Runde von Untere Sparchen

Nice round trip over Schopper Alm to Gießenbachklamm and back. The first climb is very steep but easy to walk on the road (toboggan run in winter). Once at the top, it's pretty flat past a beautiful alpine meadow to the Schopperalm. Walking time approx. 1 hour. The Schopperalm can also be reached by car. Very cozy, friendly staff and …

Today I was all alone in the Gießenbach Gorge. Only at the beginning of the trail did I encounter a puppy with its owner, and at the end of the hike, 5 meters from the car, I encountered a woman with her dog. Such peace and quiet is rare. I was able to admire the gorge in peace and quiet. …

April 29, 2025,Gießenbachklamm – Runde von Kiefersfelden

Today we went on a lovely hike. From Kiefersfelden, we passed Bavaria's largest water wheel and climbed 180 steps through the Gießenbachklamm Gorge. The stop at the Schopper Alm was well worth it! The food was fantastic! Well-fortified, we crossed the wooden bridge to the Trojer and returned to the Gießenbachklamm hiking car park.

July 24, 2022,Tourentipp für heiße Tage: Giessenbachklamm und Schopper Alm

A hiking tip for hot days: Via the Trojerhof to the Gießenbach stream, to the Schopperalm, and back through the Gießenbachklamm gorge.

The hiking trail runs mostly through the forest and is accordingly shady. You can swim in the Gießenbach stream. Don't forget your swimsuit.

Wonderful, relaxed tour through the Gießenbachklamm with dear friends. Was just right for our 'pensioner gang' today. Great food in the Schopperalm - highly recommended! Back via the Trojer-Hof with wonderful views of the Kaiser Mountains.

July 20, 2022,Rundwanderweg Gießenbachklamm

A gorge is always an impressive experience! Even if the Giessenbachklamm is hiked through relatively quickly.. Afterwards there are opportunities to cool off in the further course of the stream. 😅 Countless butterflies, orchids, and much more can be admired here - wonderful! The Schopperalm takes care of your physical well-being. The circular route then leads to the lonely mountain …
