September 12, 2022,🇦🇹⭐⭐⭐⭐2022Austria: Vorderkaserklamm Runde 🔛Vuelta circular a la Garganta de Vorderkaser

Again a route through the Austrian Tyrol area, this time visit us the Vorderkaseklam gorge, entry 6 euros!. You can park right at the entrance where there is a small kiosk where you buy the ticket but the car park is small although it is free otherwise you will have to park about 2km down and it costs 4 euros. …

The gorge is 400 m long, 80 m deep, up to 6 m wide at the top and 80 cm narrow at the bottom. The path through the gorge leads over 5 1 steps and 35 staircases with a total of 373 steps.
The speed and length are not correct - problems with GPS 🤷

Since bad weather was announced today, we only walked a short distance. After a stretch along the creek, there was first refreshment at the Vorderkaser snack bar. Then off to the gorge. Small, very narrow valley always above the water. Really nice.
On the way back it just started to rain. So we went back to Heeme and the bakery …

Absolute adventure hike! The hike up through the gorge is unique and impressive.
Didn't know that there are such incredibly great natural monuments in our area. Not far from there is also the Lamprechts Cave, which is well worth seeing.
