Höllentalklamm
A high-mountain gorge at Grainau, where walkways and tunnels run between roaring rapids and icy mist. It is wilder than the Partnach Gorge.
The Höllentalklamm gorge is about 1 km long and up to 150 m deep. Walkways are carved into the rock wall and pass through more than ten tunnels, with the rushing Hammersbach stream and waterfalls alongside. From the Hammersbach car park in Grainau, it takes about 1 hour to climb to the hut at the gorge entrance. Admission is about €6 (check on site). Beyond the gorge you can continue to the Höllentalangerhütte mountain hut, and the full round trip takes 4–5 hours. Inside the gorge it is wet, cold and shaded, so wear non-slip shoes and bring a raincoat and headlamp. Opening times depend on snow conditions.
