One of the lesser known and quieter gorges in the Berchtesgadener Land. I hiked the Weißbachschlucht at the end of March 2022. My impression was that it is very well …

From the Schneitzlreuth church, the hiking trail goes along the Weißbach ... wonderful to walk, despite the current construction site on the main road

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Very beautiful gorge, in summer ideal for cooling. Since it sometimes goes down very low, I would not recommend this tour for small children.

Despite the rain, we drove to Weißbach and trusted the weather forecast. It was worth it. When we arrived in Weißbach it was dry.
Rumo and Hägar got their Ruffwear safety harnesses on and off we went.
A very impressive gorge. The Weißbach is sometimes calm, crystal clear and deep, then again roaring and raging with white spray. Water comes …

Today we went to the Weißbachschlucht in the rain. Sturdy shoes and sure-footedness are definitely required here, as there are no holding options (railing or rope) in many places. You should also have a head for heights, as the unsecured sections also lead straight down into the gorge. Unfortunately, the way back given by komoot was currently closed, so we …

Hike through the Weißbach Gorge

Spectacular hike along the roaring river

Below the German Alpine Road between Inzell, Weißbach and Schneizlreuth, the Weißbach meanders through a mighty gorge: the Weißbach Gorge. A hike through this gorge leads over stairs and footbridges past pools through the rushing of the waterfalls.

The road at the end of the gorges is closed due to construction works! You have to go back to the beginning of the gorges.

Nice tour, unfortunately we couldn't do the entire tour because it was closed due to tree felling work.
Still highly recommended. 😊👍
