Himmelsloch in the Kitzloch Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The Himmelsloch is a place in the Kitzlochklamm, where you can see the sky by looking up through an opening in the rock roof.

Devil's Gorge (Devil's Canyon) – Kitzloch Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

We visited the gorge on a guided tour. The special thing about it: It was a super exciting and unforgettable torchlight hike. It started at dusk: Equipped with torches, the team had come up with some nice stations. Time and again there were musicians in different places who played some suitable songs for our group. The stalactite cave was opened for us (can now only be visited with a guide, as it was closed with an iron grille due to previous vandalism). At a cave entrance we got a stew to try, in the hermitage a little surprise awaits the visitors. All in all a great tour, the price-performance ratio is totally right.

The path seems to be closed during the winter season. We wanted to do the tour at the end of October and were unfortunately disappointed.

Root Trail to Maria Elend

Highlight • Trail

Steep root path but easy to walk as the path makes many hairpin bends and is made up of short sections.

August 3, 2025,🇦🇹 Kitzlochklamm 👀 Wallfahrtskirche⛪ Maria Elend🤦😅

First of all, picture 2 belongs at the end and was a reward because there were no places to stop for refreshments on the tour 🤷🤦
After a day of constant rain and some extreme wellness, we dared to take a short tour through the Kitzlochklamm and make a circular route out of it.
The gorge isn't very long, but …

July 6, 2026,Kitzlochklamm

We started at the Kitzlochklamm parking lot.
We set off in light rain. Right at the beginning, an impressive, thundering waterfall greeted us. We walked through the gorge on wooden walkways and many steps. We personally find it beautiful and you have to overcome quite a few meters in altitude to get to the exit.
Then we continued to the …

June 5, 2025,🇦🇹 🌊 Kitzlochklamm - Runde von Taxenbach entlang der Rauriser Ache 🏞️ über Maria Elend ⛪ und Embach ☁️🌲 - Tag 7B

I actually wanted to visit the Kitzlochklamm 🏞️ 🌊, whose name, by the way, comes from the fact that fawns and other animals 🐐 used to seek cooling here, three days ago. Unfortunately, it was closed due to the "weather" 🌧️, so today, after the KITZsteinhorn 🏔️, I did a catch-up tour. Because a visit to the Alps without a …

June 10, 2024,Kitzlochklamm & Hochebene Maria Elend 🌊🏞️🐄

The Kitzlochklamm is a unique natural spectacle! 💚 And with the National Park SummerCard it's even free (except for the parking lot, which costs €1).
A well-accessible path leads through the gorge for around 1.5 km. The roaring water can be observed from many exciting angles. 🫣
For adrenaline junkies there are via ferratas of various levels of difficulty, and …

Our hike took us through the Kitzlochklamm, a spectacular climb through the gorge. It was amazing how the water came down here. You couldn't understand a word, it was so loud. On the Skywark platform, things got different when we reached the top. 537 steps to the exit of the gorge. It was a unique natural spectacle. We continued along …
