Top 20 Gorges around Karrösten

Entrance to the Rosengarten Gorge with rock formations into which residential buildings have been integrated. Historically, these houses, built into the rock, served as homes and workplaces. Their origins are closely linked to the geological composition of the Bergl, formed by the Inn Valley glacier some 26,000 years ago. The use of the rock as an integral part of the buildings not only provided protection from the elements but also natural insulation. Today, the Bergl houses are an important cultural heritage site in Imst and a popular photo opportunity for visitors. They symbolize historic architecture and the impressive ability of people to adapt to their natural environment. A walk through this district provides a fascinating insight into the history and lifestyles of past generations.

A suspension bridge over the Schinderbach stream provides access to the Rosengarten Gorge. The bridge also offers a beautiful view of the mountain stream.

Schinderbach / Rosengartenschlucht In the middle of Imst is the entrance to one of the most beautiful gorges in Austria and one of the most valuable biotopes in Tyrol. The Schinderbach roars through the 2 km long Rosengarten gorge - a spectacle that can be observed from the path that leads through the gorge. The Rosengartenschlucht is highly valued as one of the most valuable biotopes in Tyrol. It is also a treasure trove, especially for geologists, as millions of years of earth's history are reflected here. The Rosengartenschlucht begins at the Johanneskirche right in the city center of Imst. The gorge, which is bordered by a 100 m high rock wall, becomes increasingly narrower and leads to the Blue Grotto, a small cave in which silver-containing galena was searched for as early as Roman times. From the Blue Grotto you then reach Hoch-Imst and can either hike back to Imst via the Wetterkreuz or continue your tour with the Imster Bergbahnen and the Alpine Coaster Imst.

Schinderbach / Rosengarten Gorge In the heart of Imst lies the entrance to one of Austria's most beautiful gorges and one of Tyrol's most valuable biotopes. The Schinderbach stream roars through the 2 km long Rosengarten Gorge – a spectacle that can be observed from the trail leading through the gorge. The Rosengarten Gorge is highly valued as one of Tyrol's most valuable biotopes. It is also a treasure trove, especially for geologists, as millions of years of geological history are reflected here. The Rosengarten Gorge begins near St. John's Church, right in the center of Imst. The gorge, bordered by a roughly 100 m high rock face, narrows as it continues, leading to the Blue Grotto, a small cave where silver-bearing galena was mined as early as Roman times. From the Blue Grotto, you can then reach Hoch-Imst and either hike back to Imst via the Wetterkreuz or continue your tour with the Imst cable cars and the Alpine Coaster Imst.

Rosengarten Gorge in the heart of Imst The natural jewel in the heart of Imst The Schinderbach stream carves its way for 1.5 km from the Blue Grotto through the rocky ridges of the Imst low mountain terraces to St. John's Church (elevation difference 250 m). For geologists, this stream reflects millions of years of Earth's history, but even those less interested in geology will be amazed by the vast wealth of plants, flowers, animals, and stones in the Rosengarten Gorge in Imst.

The Benni Raich suspension bridge, an impressive construction with an equally impressive view of the mountains in the distance as well as down into the gorge through which you recently hiked. The floor is opaque and easy to walk on, as is the railing halfway up, so you don't see too much for those who are afraid of heights. Everyone else can dare to step up to the railing and look down the 94m. At the ends there are information signs for anyone who visits the bridge for a supposedly not positive reason. Sad but important in my opinion! Tel: 142
