Lammerklamm, Austria

The Lammerklamm shows the imposing power of nature. The narrow valley was carved out by glaciers during the Ice Age (about 15,000 to 30,000 years ago), while the water masses released by the melting ice left behind a narrow gorge bordered by steep cliffs. The Lammer River Gorge is one of the most impressive natural wonders. Safe walkways running along the rocky walls of the gorge make the visit as safe as possible. The trail leads down to rushing waters and some beautiful lookouts. The bridge at the narrow point allows you to cross to the other side of the gorge. Particularly impressive: the so-called "Dark Gorge". Here, the water has penetrated extremely deeply into the rocky terrain, while the rocks on both sides are within 1 meter of each other, almost touching. It's like standing under one roof, only hearing the sound of rushing waters. Shortly before the end of the Lammerklamm you have to cross the "High Bridge". Standing 30 meters above the water, you have the opportunity to look back into the gorge and enjoy a stunning view of the Tennengebirge mountains. A truly memorable moment.
