    Also suitable for children, super developed paths and highly recommended.

      The exhausting zigzag course takes you through mixed forest up to the alp and past grazing cows and sheep before you start the descent to the parking lot again.

        At the top of the mighty Breitachklamm, take the path to the Zwingsteg. After a short climb you reach the Alpe Dornach or a little further the Sesselalpe.

                  Here we had to stop a few times and take a short breather. The ascent has it all. 😂

                      here is a tight climb but it's worth it

                        After the rocky ascent through the gorge, the climb through a beautiful forest is no less demanding.

                          During the melting of the glaciers in the last ice age, over 8000 years ago, the Breitach bore through the massive rocks. This created the Breitachklamm, the deepest gorge in Central Europe, which is 2.5 km long and about 150 m deep.

                          The history of the creation of the Breitachklamm goes back to the beginning of the 19th century. Brave Tiefenbach residents discovered the hiking trail through the gorge in 1904 and made it accessible. Not far from Tiefenbach, the water of the Breitach makes its way through a narrow gorge with almost 100-meter-high vertical and overhanging walls. From Kleinwalsertal to Allgäu to Tiefenbach/Oberstdorf, it thunders over high rock banks, gurgles in deep pools and sprays itself into the finest droplets in which the light plays.

                            Demanding hiking tour, but very nice

                                Actually a nice tapering path for children too

                                      In tight serpentines it goes up and out of the gorge. You can always take a break on the Steinambionen.

                                        Off the beaten path. A bit steep in parts.

                                          Anyone who has cooled down too much from the gorge will certainly work up a sweat on this ascent 👍🙂

                                              Short beautiful circular route, but because you can combine it with other hikes.

                                                The climb is worth it. At the end there is a great alp with a view of the Oberstorfer Alps.

                                                  An imposing natural spectacle. When we were there there was very little water. But still an interesting tour.
                                                  You can see how much power the water has.
