Leutasch Gorge
Leutaschklamm
A gorge on the German-Austrian border with a suspended walkway, the 'Ghost Gorge', and a waterfall trail running along the rock walls, well suited to easy hikes with kids.
Leutasch Gorge lies south of Mittenwald, on the border between Germany and Austria. The entrance is about a 20-minute walk from Mittenwald railway station. The gorge has two trails. The waterfall trail leads to a 23-metre waterfall. The Geisterklamm (Ghost Gorge) steel walkway, hung from the top of the gorge, runs about 1 km and offers views straight down into the deep ravine, with fairy-tale signs along the way for children. The waterfall trail costs about €4, while the Ghost Gorge is free (check on site). The full walk takes 1.5 to 2 hours. The gorge is closed in winter.
