Valerieweg

Highlight • Trail

The hike through the Burggrabenklamm is a wonderful natural experience. However, surefootedness and a head for heights are prerequisites.

Burggrabenklamm and Adlerstein

Highlight • Gorge

Here is the beginning of a challenging path along the gorge.
Those who are sure-footed and are not afraid of heights can dare to go up the hill. If you are absolutely sure, you can also go downhill.

At the top you are rewarded in different ways: with the beautiful view or with the huts where you can get good snacks.

Magdalene Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

Finally a shelter. The water from the spring hardly flows into the actual pool at the moment, but you can also fill your bottle directly in the gorge river.
It's not steep here and you can get to the stream.

Stone cairns above the Burggraben Gorge

Highlight • Structure

Respect who makes it here! The males give courage again to move on.
Because: if hundreds of other hikers have already conquered the gorge, we can do it too!
Do not give up!

Kienberghütte and Eisenaueralm (1,003 meters)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Not far from the Buchberg hut, the Kienberg hut on the Eisenaueralm also shows its idyllic side. Cows graze the meadows, cyclists and hikers arrive exhausted but happy and look forward to the deserved stop. Especially the Jausenplatte is recommended!

The Burggrabenklamm, which runs parallel below the Valerieweg, was closed two years ago. The reason was a serious accident in the gorge

August 10, 2021,Entlang der Burggrabenklamm zur Eisenauer Alm und retour 🇦🇹

My plan for today was a leisurely lap of between 3 and 4 hours. That worked out over time, but it wasn't really comfortable. But more than spectacular. Even if the direct path in the Burggrabenklamm is closed and nothing looks like a reopening at the moment, the Valerie path, which runs along the slope of the gorge and crosses …
