ギッチュタールの天然記念物・トップ20

A nice idea to enjoy a break on the Slow Trail.

Another great spot at Weissensee that you can enjoy

A beautiful hike until the end of Part 3. Then, return via the forest road via Urbani Chapel. A total of approximately 10 km, approximately 3.5 hours.

Now in October the gorge is not crowded at all, we were almost alone. However, it is also quite adventurous and slippery... sturdy shoes are absolutely necessary

The Weissensee - the perfect stop on a relaxed bike ride. The turquoise water sparkles in the sun, and if you sit down on the bench on the shore for a moment, you can really stretch your legs. The clear, fresh air and the view of the surrounding mountains make it difficult to get back on the bike. A cold drink on the lakeshore is almost a must here - especially if you take off your helmet for a break. On hot summer days, the atmosphere at the lake is lively, but still pleasantly quiet. Sometimes I hear a quiet rippling as the wind blows through the trees. A real treat for every cyclist! There are also small beach areas with deck chairs that practically invite you to dip your feet in the cool water. Whether you have just finished a long tour or are heading for the Weissensee - this place offers a welcome refreshment. And if you haven't had enough, you can continue cycling along the lake and enjoy the wonderful view. Make yourself comfortable, take your time and let nature work its magic on you.

An absolute highlight for every hike in the region is the Garnitzenklamm. As soon as you enter, you can feel the fresh mountain air and hear the rushing of the water that accompanies you through the entire gorge. The path leads over exciting paths, bridges and sometimes steeper sections directly through the impressive gorge. Especially on warm days, it is a relief to put your feet in the clear water every now and then - the perfect way to cool off. The gorge itself is varied, from narrow passages to open areas where you can marvel at the surrounding rock formations and the rushing waterfalls. The path is easy to do up to the second section, but from here it is particularly worthwhile to continue hiking to the waterfall. If you are brave, you should take the opportunity to refresh yourself briefly in the cool water. The entire route through the gorge is a natural spectacle that is a real experience for every hiker. In the low season or in bad weather, the gorge can be closed, so it is best to find out in advance. If you love nature and adventure, you should definitely not miss this place.

In the off-season, it is worth checking in advance whether the gorge is open. The gorge may be closed, particularly in critical weather conditions such as extreme rainfall.

The Garnitzenklamm is a natural experience in the Gailtal valley in Carinthia. Not far from Hermagor, near Möderndorf, the Garnitzenbach has carved a 4.5-kilometer-long gorge into the rock of the Carnic Alps over the course of history, creating a breathtaking natural jewel. Roaring waterfalls, steep rock faces, emerald-green bays, colorful rock and cliff formations, spectacular climbing facilities, as well as rare, protected plants and whirlpools formed over millions of years make the gorge one of the most beautiful in the Alps.
