Today we're catching up on yesterday's tour... We set off a little earlier and are at the entrance to the Almbachklamm. The weather is kind to us at first, but then it pours heavily; fortunately we are at a hut. When it subsides, we march on. The gorge is really recommended. Because the weather is not ideal, few tourists are …

The Almbach Gorge: 2.8 km long
Difference in altitude: 220 m
Walking time: about 2 hours
(more than?) 320 steps (someone couldn't count any further than 320 😄)
1 tunnel
168 m of niche paths
29 bridges and footbridges
At least for the moment, it does not have as massive a body of water as most other gorges. It's more …

Twenty years ago I brought a marble ball (the tiger's eye!) From the ball mill at the foot of the Almbachklamm. Today we visited the wild gorge again: Relatively easy circular hiking trail with many rapids and smaller waterfalls. The way back is characterized by great panoramic views of the Berchtesgaden Alps.

It was another very nice day 😃!
We entered the Almbachklamm from the Kugelmühle, a really beautiful gorge. It was a circular route back via Ettenberg😍.
Unfortunately the inn in Ettenberg wasn't open 🤷, but we had snacks with us 😅 and enough to drink 😃!!

It was a very nice tour. Entry to the gorge costs 6 euros, with a guest card 5 euros. It went steadily uphill and only then went down very steeply for the last few kilometers. You should be sure-footed and free from giddiness. Bridges over the gorge are sometimes a bit higher and you can see through below.
Fortunately it …

The GPS reached its limits in the gorge, but the path there is impossible to miss.
The descent is quite steep and strenuous. There is a flatter option from the inn/pilgrimage church.
Otherwise one of the most beautiful gorge tours that I know.

July 21, 2023,Wanderung Almbachklamm

Today we went through the Almbach Gorge on narrow and interesting paths. The path led via the Theresienklause and Ettenberg back to the Kugelmühle car park.
Tip: lentil soup at the Mesnerwirt in Ettenberg and a visit to the pilgrimage church.
The water-powered ball mill at the entrance to the gorge is the only one in Germany.

Very nice tour

Made 2 tours today. One of them is this one. It feels like the increase is more. Since today was the hottest day of the week, I picked out a few shady hikes. Many parts of it were even wet. Somehow there doesn't seem to be a lot of water flowing through at the moment. I discovered a small water …
