Description

Follow Griesbach river through pristine nature to the entrance of Griesbachklamm gorge. Continue past rock walls into the gorge, accompanied by the sound of rushing waters. Soon you will get to an approx. 26-meter bridge that’s suspended 4 meters above the river. Past the bridge, the trail continues above the riverbed and consists partly of wooden planks. After another suspension bridge, make a left for the short Griesbach loop and continue through a beautiful mixed forest and past Lärchenhof back to the entrance of Griesbachklamm.
