On 7 July 2010, it will be 40 years since a catastrophe shook the German and French mountain fighters and the population: A helicopter overlooked a telephone line during a practice flight in the Wimbachtal and crashed. Eight Frenchmen and four Germans were killed.
In the vicinity of the Wimbachschloss a commemorative cross is therefore attached to a Anjöhe.

Hiking

At the entrance to the mighty high valley between Watzmann and Hochkalter in the mountaineering village of Ramsau lies a narrow gorge: the Wimbachklamm. While the rear Wimbachtal, the so-called Wimbachgries, is covered with dry gravel and the water flows underground, the water of the torrent in the Wimbachklamm comes to the surface with a loud roar and plunges in steep waterfalls into the narrow rocky gorge. Bridges and footbridges on the steep rocks make it possible to hike through the Wimbachklamm.
