Leutaschklamm

Gorge Mittenwald, Bavaria, Germany

What to expect

The Leutasch Gorge, also known as Leutaschklamm or Leutascher Geisterklamm, is a steep-sided gorge near Mittenwald and Unterleutasch in the Bavarian-Tyrolean border area. The gorge features a 1.4 million euro, EU-supported, Austro-German project with steel walkways and bridges over a distance of 970 meters, making it the longest accessible gorge in the Eastern Limestone Alps. The gorge has a total length of 1,650 meters and is open to tourists. It is marketed as a family-friendly leisure paradise, with 40 boards providing information on myths, geology, flora, and fauna, as well as a spirit with winking eyes and colored, sound-oriented games. The walkways are horizontal and can be negotiated without climbing equipment. A short path leads to a 23-meter waterfall at the bottom of the gorge. The gorge is also known for its magical feel, with stories of spirits and ghosts inhabiting the area
