Fischersteig Entrance, Erlauf Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The Fischersteig in the Erlaufschlucht is a great experience all year round.
Since the heavy rain in mid-September 2024, the Fischersteig has been closed indefinitely. There is also a beautiful hiking trail above it, of course not as spectacular.
