プレーグラーテンアムグロスヴェネディガーの峡谷・トップ20

The hiking trail through the Proßeggklamm was closed for a long time and has been rebuilt. The winding path leads through short tunnels and through the gorge with impressive views. Many parts of the narrow path are secured with ropes as it drops almost vertically into the depths. A sign at both entrances warns of the dangers, including the danger of falling rocks in some sections (if you like, you can borrow a helmet from the Matrei tourist office for a 5 euro deposit). In theory, a via ferrata set can also be used at the rope-secured sections. However, if you are sure-footed and have a head for heights, you won't need this in normal weather. According to the internet, the passage is "forbidden" for children under 10 years of age, but the signs on site recommend that children be roped up. As a fall from the path can be fatal, this seems sensible depending on the age and level of understanding and sure-footedness. Small children will not always be able to reach the ropes; the path is too narrow for them to walk next to each other. It is not without reason that it is pointed out that this is a path and not a walking path. So decent shoes are also recommended. We (mountain-experienced but small "climbers" or alpinists) relaxedly hiked through the gorge with our dog in dry conditions and were able to fully enjoy the path and the view. The passage is free. You can reach the gorge from Matrei along the Tauernbach (worth it!) or park near the gorge entrance on the edge of Proßegg. Conclusion: It's worth it!

A truly beautiful valley with many touring options!

Fantastic high valley above the Krimml Waterfalls (Salzburger Land, border with Tyrol). When you get to the top of the Krimml Waterfalls, a deep, almost flat (slightly uphill) trough valley of around 25 km in length opens up. After about 12 km from the upper waterfall you will reach the old, venerable Tauernhaus. You can stop here or stay the night. If you are on a bike, I recommend that you first ride to the end of the Trogtal valley (beautiful!) and then stop off at the Tauernhaus on the way back. This valley is a SUPER HIGHLIGHT! and you should really treat yourself!

Nice rest, just a few dog tracks

The Krimmler Ache shows itself in different facets from gentle to wild.

the Almstraße connects the Ströden car park past the high ropes course with the Stoanalm.

One of the four southern side valleys of the Großvenediger. Like all the others, the Maurertal valley is a feast for the eyes. The mountain trail to the Essener-Rostocker Hut is always an experience. The trail has been rerouted in the forest area, and this section is also the steepest.

The path had to be partially renewed by DAV volunteers. It was 800 meters high and according to the hiking sign it took 3 hours. Since there is no internet, the recording of walking data is probably incorrect. If you have 5 backpacks or more, you can use the equipment cable car for a fee.
