Top 9 Gorges around Michaelerberg-Pruggern

Beautiful gorge, it was very busy where we were. You have to be considerate of one another in some passages. It's worth it!

Great climbing facility with a large suspension bridge directly on and above the water.

The Riesach Falls are truly impressive waterfalls in the Schladming Tauern, not far from Schladming. The two most famous waterfalls there are the Small and Large Riesach Falls, with the Large one having an impressive drop of around 70 meters. A truly impressive natural spectacle! The falls are part of the "Wild Waters" theme trail and were rightly declared a natural monument in 2012. The entire area is simply breathtaking and is definitely one of the natural treasures of this region. The Riesach Falls consist of the Large and Small Riesach Waterfalls, which are located in the Höllschlucht Gorge. The gorge begins at an altitude of 1079 meters near the Untere Gfölleralm or the Almgasthaus Riesachfall and ends at an altitude of 1338 meters in the area of the Riesachsee or the Obere Gfölleralm. The water for these impressive waterfalls comes from the approximately 7 km long Riesachbach, which joins the Steinriesenbach directly after the gorge and then flows through the entire Untertal as the Untertalbach before finally flowing into the Enns. The falls up to the Grosser Riesachfall are accessible via the Riesachfallsteig. And that's not all! In 2006, the area between the Grosser Riesachwasserfall and the upper end of the gorge was also opened up to tourists. An alpine trail about one kilometer long called "Alpinsteig Höll" or "Alpinsteig durch die Höll" was created there, which offers a 50 meter long suspension bridge as a special attraction. A real adventure! Source: www.familienurlaub-info.com/wandern-mit-kindern/oesterreich/steiermark/riesachfall-riesachsee/

not for the faint of heart, hold on tight

Partly challenging and a certain head for heights is an advantage when climbing to the Kotalm/Gföller Hütte 😍 Great experience, an early start is definitely worth it as it is very busy at peak times ☀️

Something too high for me

And the further up you go... it gets quieter and the crowds disperse
