Carved directly into a tree trunk, a close-up view reveals a detailed lizard – a small, hand-carved work of art in the middle of the forest. The figure nestles naturally into the bark and appears almost alive. A lovingly designed, almost hidden spot along the path that charmingly combines nature and creativity. Ideal for a short break with a photo opportunity!

The Marientritt is a bowl-shaped depression in the rock of the Johannesbach Gorge, created by millennia of water erosion. Such depressions are also called "mills" or "kolke" (coals) – they are silent witnesses to the geological past and the power of the Johannesbach stream. The name "Marientritt" goes back to a local legend: According to legend, the Virgin Mary left her footprint in the stone here. A small plaque on site tells the story and invites you to pause and reflect. A quiet, mystical place in the middle of the wild gorge – easy to miss, but definitely worth a look!

The Johannesbach Gorge, approximately 1 km long and up to 60 m deep, on the western edge of Würflach is a true natural gem and a popular destination – especially on hot summer days. The well-maintained trail, with numerous wooden walkways, steps, and bridges, leads through a wildly romantic gorge carved into the Wetterstein limestone by the Johannesbach stream over millennia. Along the way, you'll discover deep potholes, bowl-shaped depressions ("mills"), and, with a little attention, geological features such as the "Marientritt" (Marientritt). Two small caves – the Johannesbach Gorge Cave and the Klammwirt Cave – complete the experience. With a walk time of approximately 30 minutes, the gorge is also ideal for families with children. Those who like can dip their feet in the cool water or stop off at the Klammwirtin restaurant. The gorge is particularly atmospheric during the Advent market, when Austria's largest decorated Christmas tree is illuminated. If you want more, you can combine the gorge with hikes to the Schrattenstein castle ruins, along the Andreassteig or towards Grünbach.
