Hiking

The hike on the Stone Age adventure trail begins at the parking lot near the federal highway. From here you hike slightly uphill on the path that runs parallel to the Schidergraben.

You will pass six exciting play stations, which are also equipped with boards that tell you and your kids everything about the history and way of life of the Stone Age. You can also stop at the Vorderkaser natural swimming area and refresh yourself in the water there.

Finally you reach the entrance to the Vorderkaserklamm, which you can then cross. At the gorge there is also a place to stop for refreshments. With great impressions in your luggage and anticipation of the way back, you then walk the same route you came back to the parking lot.

To get to the beautiful natural bathing area, you cross a suspension bridge that spans the Schidergraben - a real highlight for young and old. You can cool off at the pond, glide across the water on rafts or just take a break.

Again a route through the Austrian Tyrol area, this time visit us the Vorderkaseklam gorge, entry 6 euros!. You can park right at the entrance where there is a small kiosk where you buy the ticket but the car park is small although it is free otherwise you will have to park about 2km down and it costs 4 euros. …

The gorge is 400 m long, 80 m deep, up to 6 m wide at the top and 80 cm narrow at the bottom. The path through the gorge leads over 5 1 steps and 35 staircases with a total of 373 steps.
The speed and length are not correct - problems with GPS 🤷

Or no, another gorge 🙄, some people might think when they read the title, and I had actually considered whether I really wanted to go there 🤔. But several reasons convinced me. Firstly, of course, that I could visit it for free with the SL Card 👍🏻, the immediate proximity to the Almenwelt Lofer and the Lamprechtshöhle 🔦, which is …

Since bad weather was announced today, we only walked a short distance. After a stretch along the creek, there was first refreshment at the Vorderkaser snack bar. Then off to the gorge. Small, very narrow valley always above the water. Really nice.
On the way back it just started to rain. So we went back to Heeme and the bakery …

Absolute adventure hike! The hike up through the gorge is unique and impressive.
Didn't know that there are such incredibly great natural monuments in our area. Not far from there is also the Lamprechts Cave, which is well worth seeing.
