Impressive as hell

The Höllental Gorge

Treat yourself to a very special nature experience in Grainau:

Do you like it wild and romantic at the same time? Then hike to the Höllentalklamm gorge. Here you can experience the originality and purity of nature "live". Cut deep into the high mountains, the Hammersbach plunges over boulders, falls foaming and milky over rock bars into pools, dusts and roars.

Difficult sections lead through electrically lit tunnels filled with muffled noise. The air is fresh and clear with every breath, especially at the height of summer. The gorge is easily accessible, approx. 1 km long and has a completely different charm to other gorges and ravines.

The trail, starting at the Höllentale entrance hut, stretches over a good 700 m. A visit to the museum brings you closer to the history of the gorge. At the upper end of the canyon, the terrain gradually becomes more expansive again. Beyond the gorge, the trail leads to the Höllentalangerhütte, which is located in a sparsely overgrown valley floor covered in rock gravel.
