The Rastenbachklamm between Kalterer See and Altenburg - a beautiful piece of earth. From the Friedensbrücke you can make a detour to the ruins of St. Peter.

September 10, 2023,Waldschenke, Altenburg 😊 Rastenbachklamm 🥰
We have now done the Rastenbachklamm for the third time 🥰, but this time the other way around 🔄... So we walked downhill. If you think it's so tiring 🫢 you're wrong 🤣 the stairs down are pretty steep from the top ↘️ and slippery.
However, it was wonderfully empty here in the afternoon 🥰.
We skipped the waterfall due …

If you want to experience an impressive nature experience, this is the right place for you! Equipped with good shoes and our hiking poles, we hike through wonderfully cool forest on partly rocky, partly smooth paths 450 meters uphill. When we reach the Rastenbachklamm, our trip reached its climax: we climbed the gorge in the midst of wonderful vegetation with …

yup,
Double tour today.
First round to the Rastenbachklamm and Altenburg.
A really nice circular route.
Not recommended with dogs as the steps are made of metal.

Showing Translation

Doable with a dog, but your dog should be used to hiking on rocky, steep terrain. It's also strenuous and not recommended in warm temperatures, even though it mostly goes through the forest. And a tip: wear long clothes! Mosquito alert in early June!

It's not just exciting iron footbridges, stairs and bridges that await you on the hike through the Rastenbachklamm. The view from Altenburg over Lake Kaltern is just as phenomenal as the large waterfall at the beginning of the gorge.

A really great circular route 👏🏻

Beautiful tour, especially when it's very warm, the gorge is a welcome way to cool down. However, you shouldn't go here in the afternoon, as it's just too hot.

Showing Translation

Actually, it was much too warm to start. But we still dared - and sweated 🥵. But it's just your own destiny.
The round is wonderfully promising, I can only recommend it 👍🏼
By the way, in Castelvecchio (Altenburg) there is a glass beer shop, and the waiter recommended us the pizza, which is probably available there from 5:15 p.m....
