Lammerklamm
An imposing gorge lies just 30 km south of the City of Mozart: the Lammerklamm. There, from May until the End of October, you can enjoy hikes with the whole family.
The Lammerklamm demonstrates the imposing power of nature. The narrow valley was carved out by glaciers during the Ice Age (approximately 15,000 to 30,000 years ago), while the masses of water released by the melting ice left behind a narrow gorge flanked by steep cliffs. The Lammer river gorge is one of the most impressive natural wonders in all of Salzburger Land.
The gorge has been accessible to visitors since 1884 and can be explored from May until the end of October. The secured walkways running alongside the rocky walls of the gorge make visits as safe as can be. The path leads down to the torrential waters and to some absolutely beautiful lookout points. A bridge located at a narrow point also allows you to cross over to the far side of the gorge.
Especially impressive: the so-called "Dark Gorge". Here, the water has eaten extremely deep into the rocky terrain, while the cliffs on either side come within 1 meter of each other, almost seeming to touch. As if standing beneath a roof, all you can hear is the sound of the rushing waters.
Shortly before the end of the Lammerklamm, you will need to cross the "High Bridge". Standing 30 meters above the water, you will have an opportunity to look back down the gorge and take in fascinating views of the Tennengebirge mountains. A truly memorable moment.
