What creators show here
Partnachklamm is a dramatic river gorge carved into limestone cliffs, featuring a narrow footway cut into the rock face alongside roaring white-water rapids. Visitors pay a 6 euro entrance fee to walk through damp stone tunnels and past cascading waterfalls along the river path.
After exiting the far end of Partnachklamm, a 15-minute uphill trail leads to Kaiserschmarrn-Alm, a traditional wooden alpine hut. Hikers can relax on the sunny patio with cold beers and fresh Kaiserschmarrn while enjoying open views of surrounding alpine pastures.
The vintage Graseckbahn cable car carries passengers in compact glass cabins from the area above the gorge back down to the valley floor. The steep, suspended ride offers aerial views over the dense forest canopy and canyon ravine.
