June 1, 2025, Entrance to the Gnoppnitzbach Water Adventure Trail

The hiking trail is beautiful, energy-saving, and very adventurous! A valuable experience, especially for children... Over the years, we've been to this place of power several times, although we rarely do a tour twice... However, a circular hike is not possible at the moment... The trail is closed just past the carters' hut, before the second bridge! There was also some logging work... including at the power hut 😢... Storm damage? Nevertheless, the trail is highly recommended 👍

Today I received the information from the municipality of Greifenburg that the entire route of the Goppnitzklamm can be accessed again. The wind and snow damage as well as the landslides of the last two years have been cleared up.
