Breitachklamm
Facts and practical information
Breitachklamm, a breathtaking natural wonder nestled in the Austrian Alps, is a testament to the raw power and beauty of nature. This awe-inspiring canyon, sculpted over millennia by the relentless force of the Breitach River, invites visitors to explore its depths through a network of sturdy walkways and bridges that cling to the sheer rock faces.
Carved into the limestone bedrock, the Breitachklamm stretches for several kilometers, with walls soaring to dizzying heights, at some points reaching over 90 meters. It is the deepest and one of the most impressive rocky gorges in Central Europe. The play of light and shadow, combined with the thunderous roar of the river, creates a mystical atmosphere that enchants hikers and nature enthusiasts alike.
The canyon is accessible year-round, offering a drastically different experience with each season. In summer, the lush greenery and the cool mist from the river provide a refreshing escape from the heat. In winter, the Breitachklamm transforms into a frosty wonderland, with icicles and frozen waterfalls adorning the cliffs.
