Dabaklamm Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

A jewel in the Hohe Tauern National Park. The path hewn into the cliff used to be used by the alpine farmers to drive their cattle into the pasture area of the village valley. The former trade from the East Tyrolean side into Salzburg via the Kalser Tauern also led through the gorge. The current tunnel was built much later.

Bergeralm snack station

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The food is delicious and ideal for children, as there's a playground next door. Bürgertum is also a good stopover. From there, it's another two hours to Lake Dorfer.

Dorfertal Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Here, shortly after the Dabaklamm, the landscape opens up again. You are standing in the Dorfertal, a wonderful valley consisting of wide alpine meadows and surrounded by proud mountain peaks.

In rain, use the tunnel and not the outer zone. In the tunnel a flashlight is needed

August 31, 2024,Durch die Dabaklamm zur Bergeralm (Tour für Kids)

A fantastic tour with kids. On foot or in a stroller. With excellent, typical mountain hut food at the turning point of the tour. A truly paradisiacal scenery along the way. The path through the tunnel offers even the hardiest kids the necessary thrill to motivate them for the route.

Parking 🅿️ was free today. The tour starts off steeply and only goes steeply uphill. But it's worth it, the view is wonderful. The stopover at the Bergalm was great. Good value for money. The gorge itself is OK but we've visited better ones.

October 20, 2024,Durch die Daba-Klamm ins Dorfertal bis zur Bergeralm und zurück

A beautiful autumn hike into the peaceful Dorfertal. Along the Kalsbach, which plunges down through the Daba Gorge, you are surrounded by the roar of the water. The rock walls reflect the noise back several times.

The footpath was already closed from the tunnel because the fall protection had been removed due to the expected snow. So we went through …

A great tour - if you do it in summer.
In spring, when there is still snow in places, it can get pretty tricky. So wear absolutely sure-footed shoes. If everything is considered, this tour can also be really cool.
Note: all rest stops were closed in April!

August 9, 2023,Wanderung Moaalm und Dabaklamm

We start straight from the hotel in the direction of the Taurerwirt. Soon afterwards it goes steeply uphill, past the Spöttling chapel and into the forest. The path goes up almost vertically until we reach the road to the Moaalm. We follow this a bit, walk past the former inn to the end of the street. A narrow path leads …
