Cyclists or hikers looking to cool off can take an outdoor shower in the Barbarossa Gorge. The hike into the gorge takes about 90 minutes as a round trip. Walkways and bridges traverse the waterfalls and cascades of the mountain stream. Those who wish can of course seek refreshment in the icy mountain water. Andreas Klinzer, who could no longer prevent the decline of his hammerworks at that time, recognized the great opportunity for the future in tourism. Thus, in 1899, he had an 800-meter-long path laid through the gorge, on which guests could admire a magnificent natural spectacle.

The Barbarossa Gorge is not suitable for baby carriages due to the grid walkways, narrow forest paths, wooden bridges, and steps!
