Ysper Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

If any gorge deserves the description "wild and romantic", then it is the Ysperklamm. There are always small climbing aids such as stone steps, wooden stairs and bridges.

Druidenweg Stone Formations

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Druidenweg leads on beautiful, mostly narrow paths from one rock formation to another. They are ancient cult sites that certainly have something mystical about them. It doesn't always have to be Stonehenge.

July 28, 2021,Ysperklamm, Druidenrundweg
The ascent through the Ysperklamm was still pleasant. Later on the Druidenweg it got quite humid and hot. We chose the route over the Kaltenbergkreuz. The descent from there was pretty steep, difficult and slippery. Quite a challenge for my broken knuckle.
On the last kilometer we got a heavy downpour. But on the whole it was a nice, interesting …

Today was an incredibly beautiful hike, we are really impressed👌🏼. We would not have thought to discover something like this in the Walviertel. Certainly the recent rainfall has also contributed to these extremely beautiful and mystical natural impressions. Entry to the gorge €4.

The route initially leads through the shady cool Ysperklamm. After about 45 minutes you have left them behind. After that, a gently sloping forest path, partly in the shade and partly in the sun, leads to the meeting point of the druids. (Perfect for a short break). Also on a forest path comes another short but steep climb. There you …

Enjoy, be amazed and chill out. A circular hike through the Ysperklamm and on the Druidenweg offers exactly these experiences. The mystical and scenic Wald4tel shows its great side here.

Huge boulders and rock formations in an old mixed forest and fast-flowing water create a breathtaking backdrop. Little light penetrates here and great contrasts arise. But not only Klamm - the Druid Trail is also very spectacular. Rock formations, moss-covered rock circles …

Unfortunately, the internet and cell phone reception in the parking area is very poor. That's why the tour only started in the upper area/end of the gorge.
It's best to download the tour offline beforehand.

Beautiful tour in great weather, this tour is not suitable for untrained hikers as there are some difficult sections on the ascent and descent.
