Really much nicer. Impressive scenery that is better captured with your own eyes than with the camera.

July 22, 2025,Brücke über Ramsauer Ache – Ramsauer Fußgängerbrücke Runde von Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden

Since no rain is forecast for today, I chose this hike. After panting up to the entrance of the gorge, I wondered what I was actually doing 😂, and that was just the short climb; after the end of the gorge, things really got going 😂🙈.

Still a great hike, the gorge is beyond impressive, the power of nature unbridled.

Shortly before entering the gorge, the path forks and leads steeply uphill (300 meters difference in altitude) through various types of forest. The tour to the highest point is to be regarded as a medium-difficult tour. Down into the valley you …

Admission with a guest card: €2.50 - Short, impressive gorge. In total, you need about 45 minutes for the outward and return journey. We have added a nice route to the tour. The last 2.5 km were deliberately included to document the drive to the Oberwirt inn. Here was the reward: shandy, onion rose bread and roast pork with bread …
