Thematic route

The hike starts at Parking Lot Spirit Gorge (P19) in the Schanz district. Right at the beginning, the cozy Leutascher Klammstüberl invites you to enjoy regional specialties—perfect before or after your hike.

The path leads into the impressive Spirit Gorge. A 800-meter-long walkway takes you to the panoramic bridge. Before reaching the bridge, a path to the left leads down to Mittenwald, where you’ll find the entrance to the Waterfall Trail and the Gorge kiosk. If you wish, you can visit the waterfall. The Waterfall Trail, 500 meters long and built just three meters above the water, leads to the imposing 23-meter-high waterfall (admission fee — cash only). A head for heights and sturdy footwear are required.

The path follows the themed trail “The Legend of the Gorge Spirit”. Various stations tell the story of the Gorge Spirit, who has lived in the Spirit Gorge since the beginning of time. He knows every stone, every bird, and every little moss plant. He watches over everyone and settles all disputes. But recently, the Gorge Spirit has lost interest. When his friends, the nature spirits Flora and Einstein, hear this, they are
