ザンクトマルティンベイローファーの峡谷・トップ20

Along a walking path that is also good after the Sunday roast... a real feast for the eyes..😘

Wonderful to look at... even if only a short part can be seen

Here you can see the crystal clear and often turquoise meltwater flowing through the gorge.

The Marxenklamm forms an approximately 140 meter long narrow section of the Ramsauer Ache from the end of the magic forest to behind the Marxenbrücke. In this area, the average width of around 10 meters is reduced to less than half, thus ensuring a significantly higher flow speed and water whirlpools on the irregularly shaped walls. In these whirlpools, the stones from the Klausbachtal that are transported in the water rub against the rock walls and thus create smooth depressions on the walls and in the ground (so-called “scours”). In the gorge, two mountains with different types of rock face each other: the Reiter Alpe and the Hochkaltermassif. In this fault zone, the Dachstein limestone meets on the south side with the overlying Liaskalk from the Hochkalter andwerfen layers of the Reiter Alpe, with the Dachstein limestone dipping at an inclination of around 30 degrees beneath the much olderwerfen layers.

Great gorge that becomes more and more exciting as the course progresses. Definitely worth seeing. There is a combination ticket for the Seisenberger-Vorderkaserklamm and for the Lambrechtshöhle. All three are highly recommended. Here's more information: https://www.seisenbergklamm.eu/

If you walk along the hiking trail between the Hintersee and Ramsau, you can experience impressive views of the Marxklamm gorge again and again.

Crazy how narrow you go through the gorge.
