Starzlach Gorge

The hike through the Starzlach Gorge is an experience. Narrow, sometimes low paths, alongside the roaring water, and experiencing the primal power of the elements make this tour a true highlight.

The name Starzlach means "Ach jumping over the rocks", also "fall stream".
The Starzlach, also called Burgberger Starzlach or Winkler Starzlach, is an 11 km long stream in the Allgäu Alps with its main upper course Stuhlbach, which flows from the right and northeast into the lower Ostrach on the northern edge of Sonthofen in the district of Oberallgäu in Bavaria.
There are two other bodies of water with the same name in the region, which are distinguished in the Starzlach term. The catchment area of the namesake on the upper reaches of the Wertacher Starzlach even borders on the upper watershed of this Starzlach.
