Story · Leutaschklamm

You're standing at the Leutasch Gorge, a narrow, deep cleft right on the border between Bavaria and Tyrol, between Mittenwald and Unterleutasch. Listen for a second. That rushing sound below is the Leutascher Ache, the river that carved its way through the limestone here. The walls are so steep that until 2006, nobody could actually get into this gorge.

Leutaschklamm Tyrol: an attraction with a deep gorge

The Leutaschklamm is a narrow, deep gorge. The Leutascher Ache river flows between steep rock walls. Since 2006, you can walk through it on steel walkways. It is the longest gorge you can visit in this region. Families also enjoy coming here, as the gorge is nicknamed Geisterklamm, the ghost gorge, and signs along the route tell stories about nature. You will find the gorge in Leutasch in Tyrol, between Mittenwald and Unterleutasch.

What you see in and above the gorge

Beneath you, you can hear the river flowing through the limestone. In places, you hang more than 50 metres above the ground. The paths are kept as level as possible and are solidly built, so you do not need any climbing gear. Along the route, there are 40 signs about legends, rock formations, plants and animals. You will also find a ghost with blinking eyes and games with sound and colour, which are especially fun for children. A short side path leads to a waterfall in the gorge. You pay for that path, but the walk through the gorge itself is free. Above the gorge, on a ridge to the west, lies the Ederkanzel restaurant. The dining room is in one country and the terrace is in the other. The border stone sits by the door to the terrace. Even on the terrace, you pay according to the tax rules of the country where the dining room is.

The history of the Leutaschklamm

Until 2006, nobody could enter the gorge, as its walls are too steep. This changed with a project that received European support. The project cost around €1.4 million. Steel walkways and bridges were installed, totalling almost 1 kilometre in length. On 24 May 2006, the gorge opened to visitors. A year later, nature made its presence felt. On 7 July 2007, a rock fell onto the walkway. Part of the path was destroyed. Nobody was injured. The gorge then remained closed for 2 weeks.
