Several thousand years ago, around 15 million cubic meters of rock broke loose between Schärtenspitze and Steinberg in the Hochkalter massif and fell more than 1,000 meters into the valley. There they piled up on top of each other as boulders and dammed the Ramsauer Ache to the Hintersee. This created the charming landscape of the magic forest, which stretches from the Marxenklamm to the Hintersee. The mountain side between Schärtenspitze and Steinberg was identified as the beginning of the landslide. Over a width of around 400 meters, a 70 to 100 meter thick stack of layers had come loose, around 12 to 16 million cubic meters of rock fell into the Blaueistal and crashed onto the opposite slope; You can still find blocks up to 160 m above the valley floor today. Only some of the rock remained lying, the majority moved further down the valley. Only at the Klausbach at the valley exit did the landslides remain in the valley floor as a mass of blocks and rock debris up to 40 meters thick. In total, the landslide material covered a height difference of approximately 1,300 meters and a distance of 3.7 kilometers. The age of the landslide is now fairly well known. A piece of wood was found in a hole that was buried during the natural disaster. An age determination showed around 3500 years, i.e. Bronze Age age.

The path leads over 29 footbridges and bridges and several stone stairs through the wild Almbachklamm near Marktschellenberg. Even a tunnel is crossed. At the foot of the Untersberg, the Almbach has formed a deep gorge in the terrain. The path through the Almbachklamm is three kilometers long. Trees line your path, the bubbling and roaring torrent flows next to you. Right at the entrance to the gorge you can visit the oldest marble ball mill in Germany. An adventure for the whole family – even in summer. The Almbachklamm is usually open from the beginning of May to the end of October. However, there may be changes due to weather conditions (it's best to check on the website before starting your tour). The starting point is the free Almbachklamm car park on Kugelmühlweg in Marktschellenberg. If you come by public transport, you can use bus lines 836 and 840.

The early bird, etc. On a sunny day, the stream is particularly worthwhile early in the morning. The sunlight then creates a particularly beautiful atmosphere. In addition, there is not too much visitor traffic.

Little stream? It can sometimes be more.

The creek is just beautiful in all places.
