Through the Reinsbacher Klamm in March 2026, the upper path was blocked by thin logs, but they could be easily cleared. The short section through the gorge and the stream is overgrown but passable without problems. Before the log cabin, the path was again blocked by debris from the cabin. Everything was cleared and the path was freed. The ride continues.....
