No parking directly at the gorge entrance due to road renovation.
There is also room for a car at the starting point at Gasthof Leitner. Once you have laced up your shoes and brought your jacket and rucksack, off you go. After a 10-minute walk, following the signposts, you come to the entrance to the gorge, down a few steps, along the narrow path lined with meadows and woods, with the stream flowing to the right of the path. Pass sandbanks where the many stones, marbled, with shells and flints are quite something. When you reach the large meadow, which is covered with colourful flowers in spring, you can already see the woodcutter's hut and the model of a water rake.
At the following spring you can refresh yourself again before the ups and downs of the path become more. Accompanied by the scent of damp moss, sorrel and wild strawberries, a unique feeling develops as you then walk along soft ground, sometimes over roots and stones, letting your thoughts run free and marvelling at the power of the water as it tumbles over the rocks into the depths. You should linger here for a moment, breathe in the clear freshness and feel the wet splashes on the tip of your nose.
A glance upwards is enough to see the lichens glowing yellow from the rock. Continue to the footbridge, up and down the steps, until you reach the Klammsteigruhe. Be sure to pause here before going uphill again after the "tunnel". At the top of the clearing, there is a bench for a rest. Follow the signposts back through forest and meadow to the road. Once you have crossed the road, follow the forest path back to the starting point. Let your soul dangle on the flat stretch of the forest path, take a look at the mountain farms across the road, look back on the distance you have covered and simply enjoy yourself! Makes sense.

- If the weather gets worse, you should turn back in time. If you get caught in a thunderstorm, do not stay on the summit or ridge and keep away from single trees. Wait, if possible in a crouching position, to be safe during the thunderstorm.
- Stay on the clearly marked paths and remember to close pasture fences when you pass them on your way.
- In case of an emergency, keep calm and call the mountain rescue service under 140. If you have no cell phone signal, take out your sim card and dial 112.
- If you meet cows: Walk above the herd at least 50 meters away. Stay calm, don't make hectic movements and don't run away. Do not imitate cow sounds and try not to stroke the animals. With a stick and loud calls, the animals can often be turned around in an emergency.
- If you are a dog owner: Clarify already before the hike whether you have to cross grazing areas. Keep your dog on a leash and make sure that he keeps calm. Let the dog off the leash immediately in case of a cow attack. Never pick him up to defend him.

Garbage on meadows and paths can not smell mountain and valley. Please take it with you. Agriculture and forestry are important partners for Berg und Tal. They allow you to walk and drive on many of their paths. Be aware that only good cooperation will guarantee your recreational enjoyment in the future.
