    Mountaineering

    Beautiful and very original small gorge, where you cross the water several times.

    Mountaineering

    The streambed is generally easy to walk on, as there are suitable crossings in several places to cross the stream with dry feet. However, this could become problematic in high water. Therefore, special caution is advised during thunderstorms and heavy rain.

    Hiking

    The Gießenbach carves through a narrow, mossy gorge with cascading water over rocks. A scenic and cooling spot on the route — take care on the wet rocks if you explore close to the stream.
