A breathtaking gorge with a fair entrance fee. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the path upstream is currently one-way. Personally, I think the one-way street is a good thing, and not just because of the coronavirus.

Bridge over the Breitachklamm

Was in the gorge in August and you had to queue for at least an hour in front of the entrance. That's why I recommend visiting this beautiful gorge either in spring or in autumn 👍😎

A short but very nice little hike through the Breitachklamm near Oberstdorf.

Unfortunately there were too many tourists so you couldn't really enjoy the beauty of the gorge.
Still very, very nice.👍

You'll need them especially if you're continuing the loop after the gorge towards the car park at the entrance. The shorter orange route is signposted and indicated on the board at the trailhead, taking 15 minutes to the car park. The longer and easier route back …

Okay, it's departure day and not much time. But it's the only day without fog and rain, but plenty of sunshine and a bright blue sky.
So, before the return trip, we headed to the Breitachklamm. Very early at 9:00 a.m., the gorge was fortunately still empty, so we were practically alone and could marvel at the power of the …

Hiked up the Breitachklamm from below and back down through the forest (orange hiking trail). Good footwear is highly recommended 🥾.
The weather was kind to us and blessed us with beautiful light.
