Memorial plaque to Prince Léon Gagarin at the Rettenbach

Highlight • Monument

This is where Prince Leon Gagarin and his son died in the wild whirlpool of the Rettenbach in 1898. The board describes the grief of the mother and wife in poem form. The place looks very inviting for swimming but can be quite dangerous with the strong current.

Rettenbach Gorge

Beautiful hiking trail that can also be extended towards Rettenbachalm. Further hiking through the extensive alpine pasture area to the Rettenbachklamm and Blaa-Alm is possible. The Rettenbach Alm offers the best regional cuisine and snacks from surrounding farms.

Rettenbachalm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A friendly alpine hut in the idyllic Rettenbach Valley. Thanks to its gravel road, it's also a great destination for a bike ride.

The start of the Rettenbachklamm was very beautiful, as was the Alm, a lovely hiking area. But the wide forest road in the sun is only suitable for cyclists and cars. There is also a large car park in front of the Alm. But if you don't have a vehicle, you walk away from the station.
