Description

The hike starts at Parking Lot Geisterklamm (P19) in the Schanz district. Right at the beginning, the cozy Leutascher Klammstüberl invites you to enjoy regional specialties—perfect before or after your hike.

The trail leads into the impressive Spirit Gorge. A 800-meter-long walkway takes you to the panoramic bridge, offering a spectacular view of the gorge. A head for heights and sturdy footwear are required. After the bridge, the path turns right into the forest. From here, follow the signs for the circular gorge trail back to the starting point.

The loop follows the themed trail“The Legend of the GorgeSpirit”. Various stations along the way tell the story of the Gorge Spirit, who has lived in the Spirit Gorge since the beginning of time. He knows every stone, every bird, and every little moss plant. He watches over everyone and settles all disputes. It has always been that way, but recently, the Gorge Spirit has lost interest. His two friends, the nature spirits Flora and Einstein, are shocked when they hear this. Help them convince the Klamm Spirit to stay, because there's nowhere more beautiful than the Spirit Gorge.

Please note that the long gorge trail is not suitable for strollers or dogs.

The Spirit Gorge is open from May to October.
