Stangensteig

Alternative way back from the Höllentalklamm with spectacular views of the gorge and Höllental.

ATTENTION: this section is life-threatening in some places and should only be practiced with absolute freedom from giddiness and alpine experience. Under no circumstances should children or dogs be carried. Only last year there was a fatal accident.

If you are there outside of the checkout hours, i.e. very early or very late, it is totally beautiful (empty) in the gorge. Only the power of the water can then be heard ...

Demanding route back from the Höllentalangerhütte towards Grainau.
Dizziness and surefootedness are an absolute must.
View rewards but for that.

Beautiful tour with breathtaking views. I recommend starting the route with a high speed equipment and group. Give enough time for breaks.

Surefootedness would be good, because here the wooden steps are usually slippery!

The Iron Bridge is located above the Höllentalklamm. You can reach it when you go back over the steep path

Since I have to give Ronny completely right! Especially since you would indeed run the gorge twice. So you have at least a very good and varied alternative.

Exhausting but very nice

70m high bridge over the Höllentalklamm to the Stangensteig

This bridge can be reached via the Stangensteig. Unfortunately you don't have the wonderful way through the gorge. So on the way to the Höllentalangerhütte through the gorge and the way back over the Stangensteig. That is the best combination.

Did the route on purpose despite a certain fear of heights - after taking a deep breath and focusing, the climb was relatively easy to make, the bridge needed another short overcoming,
But there was even a short look deep into the gorge.
The rest of the climb is partly secured by rope, but easy to walk and not exposed.

Surefootedness is a prerequisite here, as many steps are always damp and smooth. Walking sticks make you feel safer. Great views!

I can only write from memory that in 2008 we walked through the shallow water of the small waterfall, which flows as a step over the Stangenstieg.

Sensational view of the valley

Shaky knees included. Absolutely impressive, section on the Stangensteig

Bridge over the Höllentalklamm with impressive views of the gorge

For the first time committed the Stangensteig. Was fun.

If you go through the gorge waterproof clothing and very good footwear is recommended.

Waterproof jacket recommended

Through the caves through a highlight for the children

Only let children go with you

Wonderful tour and very varied. Only let children go with you!

Nice bridge over the Höllentalklamm
