Mountain hikes Griesbachklamm Gorge - Alpine Loop

Beautiful hike with gorge, waterfall and mountain huts

Description

Follow Griesbach river to the entrance of Griesbachklamm gorge and enjoy the natural setting away from houses and roads. The trail then takes you into a magnificent ravine with steep rocky walls and a river running through it. Shortly after entering the gorge, you will get to a 26-meter long suspension bridge that hangs about 4 meters above the river. Parts of the trail consist of wooden boardwalks that run just above the Griesbach. After a second suspension bridge the trail branches off to the right and leads past a roaring waterfall. The next section is more peaceful with the sound of the water gurgling and splashing behind. The trail then climbs steadily to a second waterfall where you find wide valley with sand bars to rest and play on. The hike continues past the sand bars and through the narrowing valley to a crossing. Make a right into the gorge and continue to a forest road. Follow this road for about 900 meters to the entrance of Jägersteig, a narrow path that winds its way through a shady forest to Angerlalm (1102 m). Pick up the agricultural road to the bog pond and make a right onto the trail to Huberalm (1080 m). Just before the mountain hut there is a great vista point on Huberhöhe (1146 m). You hike over the Jägeralm back to Erpfendorf. On the way to the parking lot lend itself the Kneipp facility.
