Not suitable for strollers and no flip-flops is recommended 😅
The Calmont via ferrata on the Moselle is easier and much shorter than this gorge.
We really liked it. Great nature and colors. Crystal clear water.
Other gorges may have higher waterfalls, but here we were impressed by the natural path. Here you don't walk on gratings through the gorge.

A very beautiful and also somewhat demanding gorge (soil conditions/slope). One of the most beautiful in Austria. Lots of rock and damp tree roots. Put on good mountaineering boots and bring sticks if you like. Climbing harness not required. There are exits along the way, or you can also go back. €6 entrance fee. Inn next to the entrance. Plenty …

The first part of the gorge is easier to walk on. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the Idawarte. There you can already see the first larger waterfalls. From the Idawarte to the Franzenswarte it goes steeply uphill and just before bridge 3 it is quite exposed. There is a rope railing but no safety device to the …

The route is very beautiful but also very demanding. Sure-footedness and good shoes are a must. Do not go if it is raining. The gorge is definitely not suitable for small children.

Walked all 4 parts of the gorge. Fantastically beautiful and worthwhile. After reaching the 4th part, we went back and then followed Route 410 towards the gorge entrance. The entire four parts are only partially suitable and the fourth part is not at all suitable for small children.

June 30, 2025,🇦🇹Hermagor: Garnitzenklamm🌊

Given the hot temperatures🥵, we hoped to cool off in a gorge, or at least find a bearable hiking climate. So, off we went to the Garnitzenklamm Gorge near Hermagor (admission €7 for adults or €5 with the Carinthia Card). Shortly after the ticket office, the trail climbs steeply uphill on a wide path. Then it becomes narrower, rockier, and …

A very beautiful gorge, lots of untouched nature. What is required here is good physical condition, sturdy shoes (good hiking boots and possibly a third hand (a stick maybe even foldable) with a photo break didn't quite take 3 hours. So once Klamm and back to the car. My summary gladly again immediately
