About Höllentalklamm Gorge

Höllentalklamm Gorge
 

Höllentalklamm Gorge is located near Grainau in Bavaria, Germany, within the dramatic landscape of the Wetterstein Mountains. This natural gorge stretches about 1 kilometer in length and is sculpted by the flowing waters of the Hammersbach River. Known for its sheer rock walls and thunderous waterfalls, the Höllentalklamm offers adventurers a chance to experience nature’s wonder up close. The gorge's history extends back over a century when it was first made accessible to the public. Today, it serves as a gateway for hikers to enter deeper into the Bavarian Alps and explore its trails that lead toward the Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak. Visitors are drawn by the spectacular sights of water cascading through the narrow gorge and the eerie beauty of its rocky passageways. It provides a unique mix of geology and ecology, with diverse alpine flora clinging to the rocky terrain. As a point of incredible natural beauty, Höllentalklamm also offers opportunities for hiking, photography, and experiencing the tranquil yet powerful presence of alpine nature.
