Liechtenstein Gorge

Liechtensteinklamm

One of the deepest and longest gorges in the Eastern Alps, with steel walkways and a spiral staircase running between rock walls 300 m high.

The Liechtenstein Gorge lies near St. Johann im Pongau. It stretches about 4 km, and at its narrowest the rock walls are only a few metres apart. The walkway covers roughly 1 km. After reopening in 2022 following restoration, a spiral staircase was added so you can walk all the way to the waterfall at the gorge's end, with light falling through the crevices high above. Admission is a little over €10. The water is most impressive after rain, but the walkways are slippery at that time. From Zell am See it's about 35 minutes by car, or you can take the train to St. Johann im Pongau and continue by taxi.
