Weißbach Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The Weißbach Gorge between Inzell and Bad Reichenhall is a worthwhile destination. With its wildly rushing gorge, beautiful wooden walkways, and thrilling waterfall crossings, this is a trip suitable for the whole family, provided everyone is sure-footed.

The Weißbachschlucht is closed for the whole year 2019 because of marbled bridges and footbridges to be renewed.

One of the lesser known and quieter gorges in the Berchtesgadener Land. I hiked the Weißbachschlucht at the end of March 2022. My impression was that it is very well …

April 12, 2023,Weißbachschlucht, Soleleitungsweg und Thumsee - was für eine Trilogie
The Weißbach Gorge is extraordinary and impressive, one of my highlights in the Berchtesgadener Land. If, like me, you don't like to go there and back, you have to make a tour all around. So today we went along the Soleleitungsweg and unfortunately also a bit along the road. But in the end Lake Thumsee compensated me for all the …

Short vacation day 2:
Today we hiked through the Weissach Gorge. A real piece of cake, simply brilliant.
We started at Thumsee, despite the construction site we were able to complete the entire circuit. We initially overlooked the entrance to the valley at the intersection of Inzell, Bad Reichenhall and Schneizelreuth and walked a little way down the road to …

An entertaining round starting at Thumsee, through the Weißbachschlucht, past the former toll booth up the Höllenbachtal and down the Höllenbachsteig back to the starting point

In overcast but dry weather, we chose Thumsee as our destination. A tour with a few HMs and one that requires surefootedness.

We started at Thumsee via the brine pipeline path to the spectacular Weissbach Gorge. It's always incredible how powerful the water is. The Weissbach stream winds its way roaring through the valley. From there, it's a relatively long …
