    Tips

    Hiking

    The Gleirschklamm is a wild and romantic, deeply cut gorge in the Karwendel Nature Park near Scharnitz in Tyrol. It is considered a scenically spectacular insider tip away from the more well-known mass trails. The untamed wild river fascinates with its turquoise water, roaring waterfalls, potholes, and steep rock faces of Triassic limestone.
