カーヴェンデルの峡谷・トップ20

It's even better to take them when it's raining, like there was a lot of water in the gorge.

Small, easy to reach and yet impressive gorge. It is best to go after heavy rain - when there is a lot of water.

Impressive how the water makes its way into the valley

Originally, the stone men were placed here by pilgrims, but nowadays it is probably more the visitors to the gorge who immortalize themselves here.

The gorge used to be used for timber drifting. It was a very difficult task to transport the logs through the narrow gorge into the valley. In early summer, the meltwater was dammed at the beginning of the Gleirschklamm at the so-called “Klausen”, the logs were lowered into the water and after the necessary water level was reached, the Klausentor was opened in one fell swoop. The trunks shot with a powerful rush of water through the gorge out of the valley of the Isar towards Scharnitz. The logs often became wedged in the gorge and had to be painstakingly repositioned by the experienced men, the so-called drifters. Today only the information boards remind us of this dangerous work, in which many men were injured and died.

These stone towers have their origins as signposts in earlier times.
