The Wolfsklamm is the most famous gorge in Tyrol. Wooden footbridges and narrow stone paths lead along the Stanser Bach stream through rocky gorges, over bridges and past impressive waterfalls.
From the car park (quickly overcrowded on weekends and public holidays) you can reach the paid entrance to the gorge in a few minutes. There is also a toilet here. After a 20-minute walk, the real adventure begins, the hike through the gorge. If you walk at a leisurely pace and take a photo every now and then, this part of the hike takes between 30 and 50 minutes.
The Wolfsklamm is particularly impressive due to its narrow rock walls and the roaring waterfalls that accompany the path. In some places the water rushes so close to the footbridges that you can feel the refreshing spray. The sometimes steep climbs offer breathtaking views of the deep gorge. At the end of the gorge, a path leads up to the Benedictine monastery of St. Georgenberg.
If you only want to visit the gorge, you can rest here on the banks of the stream and maybe have a picnic.
The way back through the gorge is no longer possible from 2023 (as of June 2023). Visitors now have to walk a (slightly too) long way back through a forest and later across a meadow. This part of the excursion lasts almost an hour and is not particularly exciting.
