small, relaxed circular route starting at the entrance to the gorge. We didn't find our way at first. Please go directly to the entrance to the gorge, it is right on the street.

Currently, in May, it is not yet overcrowded here. We took our dogs with us into the gorge. But I wouldn't take them a second time.
If you are traveling with a dog, it is better to visit the gorge separately and one after the other, without the dog. That saves stress on all sides.

August 9, 2022,Wanderung durch die Sigmund Thun Klamm zur Schneckenreith Alm

Pleasure hiking!
The gorge is not very long and if there are a lot of people you can get through it in 15-20 minutes.
After that there are several possibilities to stop, we decided on the Schneckreith Alm, a very good choice. Then played a bit with the kids at the ice-cold inlet to the lake...
