Joint ascent through the gorge
Climbing up a gorge is a great experience. Surrounded by rocks, water and the flora and fauna, you experience nature in an environment that is rarely visited by people. Unlike canyoning, you don't hike in the riverbed itself. Instead, you carefully feel your way from stone to stone, walk along the banks of the stream, climb over boulders and balance over tree trunks. You help each other to overcome waterfalls.
Hiking time and requirements
The ascent through the gorge takes about 1 to 3 hours (depending on the region), including breaks and refreshments. Apart from surefootedness, there are no special requirements. The way back outside the gorge takes half an hour on foot. Access to the exit of the gorge is possible, you can also be picked up.
Barbecue after the hike
If you wish, you can combine your expedition with an organized barbecue in a nearby forest hut. In dry weather, an additional short hike to an uncovered barbecue area with tables is a good idea. If you wish, we can also organize a visit to a local restaurant.
