The two hours through the Griesbachklamm gorge can easily turn into four. After all, you don't want to just walk past bathing spots, barefoot paths and cozy resting places! Especially not with children. We have warned you...
A family-friendly circular tour through the Griesbachklamm gorge on a moderately difficult trail with newly constructed suspension bridges and footbridges. Numerous rest and bathing opportunities along the way.
The big Griesbach loop follows the short Griesbach loop all the way to the second suspension bridge, but this time you make a right instead of a left. After a few minutes the trail leads past a roaring waterfall. In the ensuing section of the trail the water flows quietly, and there is a stillness in the air. After hiking up and out of the gorge, you will reach a second waterfall. The trail then continues into a wide valley with sand bars where you can relax and enjoy the scenery. Continue past the sand bars further into valley. At a junction, turn left and continue across a bridge to the Griesbachkanzel vista point. Follow the historic lumberjack trail through a pristine forest back to the parking lot.
