Wooden walkways, bridges and short tunnels lead you safely through the gorge, bringing you close to the power of the rushing water. One of the highlights is the impressive “Devil’s Staircase” and the viewing platform known as the “Kitzlochklamm gorge eye”. From here you look deep into the wild Teufelsschlucht and down onto the roaring waters below.
The trail continues past the historic hermitage and towards the pilgrimage church of Maria Elend. Adventurous visitors can also tackle the challenging via ferratas that run alongside the gorge.
For a truly magical atmosphere, the evening event “Gorge & Sound” transforms the gorge into a glowing world of light, music and rushing water.
