An impressive natural experience with steep rock faces that line the path along the Donnersbach. The gorge is accessible via a 3.5-kilometer-long path that is open from May to October and partly crosses narrow wooden walkways and bridges.

A beautiful circular hike
Next time, however, I would prefer to hike there and back on the side of the stream
As the other side is rather boring...

Donnersbachklamm beautiful ... but you shouldn't be claustrophobic ... there is a very narrow passage

The Donnersbach Gorge Trail is a lovingly designed trail with lots of information, places and views on geology, forestry and rafting. There are some stations where you can stop and relax. It is also easy to do with older children as it keeps the difficult passages and elevation gain to a minimum. A lovely little gorge circuit.
