Bletterbach Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The gorge is simply grand. If it has rained enough, I recommend going all the way to the end. The waterfalls are simply beautiful. However, sure-footedness is an advantage.

On the 1st day here in South Tyrol I planned the tour into the Bletterbach Gorge. It started from Maria Weißenstein in the direction of the Lahner Alm.

From yesterday high in the mountains, today deep into the gorge - the Bletterbach Gorge🗿🪖
We could hardly have expected
how wonderful the gorge would be👍👍👍.
With a 9 euro discount you can take a circular route through the gorge and back up via the Jägersteig.
We started from the pilgrimage site of Maria Weissenstein and took an individual route …

Anyone planning a rest should rather go to the Schmieder Alm than to the Schönrast. Schmieder is more rustic and smaller
