Gargellener Window

Highlight • Natural Monument

This is the actual Gargellen window, which gives the circular route its name. Rock strata that normally lie deep underground are exposed here. They form a window into a world that is hidden.

Rustic snack station with friendly innkeepers. Homemade meals and refreshing drinks, some from our own production (bacon, homemade sausage, buttermilk...). Delicious. 😉

Nice walk that runs mostly through the forest. And that was nice today with 29 degrees on the thermometer.

Day 3. Heavy thunderstorms overnight 🌩️, still raining in the morning 🌦️, which stopped pretty soon. And a lot of fog haze 🌫️. So perfect for an annual greetings tour: the Gargellner windows inverted, i.e. with a different perspective and, apart from one stitch, a much more pleasant climb. 🥾
