Hiking

The Wolfsklamm is a real highlight and is considered by many hikers to be one of the most beautiful gorges in the Alps. The hike starts in Stans: either at the signposted and paid car park of the Wolfsklamm or at the free car park at the Laurentius Church at the edge of the village. Both paths lead you directly to the Wolfsklamm, which awaits you with steep steps, narrow paths and impressive rocky gorges. Waterfalls rush next to you and make this tour a real adventure. At the end of the gorge there is a quiet stream bed where you can build your own cairn or simply enjoy nature.

You then continue walking over an impressive wooden bridge to the rock monastery of St. Georgenberg - the oldest place of pilgrimage in Tyrol. In the inn you can relax under the old chestnut trees and fortify yourself with delicious delicacies.

For the way back you hike along the Stations of the Cross in the direction of Weng. At the beginning you go back the same way, then you turn over a small bridge onto the wide pilgrimage path. Important: The descent via the Wolfsklamm is prohibited! Back in Stans you can stop at the Gasthof Marschall or the Da Capo.

Wolf Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Wildly romantic rocky mountains, a roaring mountain stream, emerald green water and a fabulous view at the top - the Wolfsklamm is a true natural jewel. A hike through it is pleasantly cool on hot summer days and no wetter than anywhere else on rainy days - so it's always worthwhile.

Open: May to October

Admission: adults 6 euros, children aged 6 to 14 2 euros (discount with Silvercard).

Stone Cairns at the End of the Wolfsklamm Gorge

Highlight • Structure

Originally, the stone men were placed here by pilgrims, but nowadays it is probably more the visitors to the gorge who immortalize themselves here.

St. Georgenberg Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The St. Georgenberg Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in North Tyrol. The fantastic view from the monastery makes up for all the effort on the way here. And you can also stop for a bite to eat here!

March 21, 2024,Durch die Wolfsklamm nach St. Georgenberg: Sanfte Tour

Heaven and hell: through the deep Wolfsklamm you climb up to the pilgrimage church of St. Georgenberg, which sits magically on a boulder. The way back through the diverse beech forests of the nature park also offers a panoramic view of the Inn Valley.

The altitude is correct 😂
It's a shame that you can only go up the Wolfsklamm.
The forest path back was 80% shady, however, and worth its weight in gold in today's temperatures.
The entrance fee to the gorge is justified, lots of new viewing areas and almost all of the walls have ropes. Great for walking or climbing the …

Today the Wolfsklamm in Stans im Inntal was our goal and it was overwhelming.
The adventurous hike leads over steps, climbs and rocky gorges along impressive waterfalls. A great hike with wonderful impressions.
At the end of the gorge you come to an idyllic stream bed where many stone figures were built.
Then we hiked up to the monastery with …

Since it was already quite warm this morning, we decided to walk through the Wolfsklamm Gorge. Then we'll do a short Stations of the Cross to the Georgenberg Monastery. Return via Weng. And then we'll take a dip in Lake Achensee 🏊‍♀️

Dogs are generally allowed, but you should be very sure what the dog can do. For small dogs, it is definitely only possible at times if you can carry them, as some of the boards on the walkways have wide gaps. The stairs are also very steep and vary in height. You can only get out of the gorge through …

Today we went to the Wolfsklamm near Stans. Already at 10:00... all parking spaces were taken... right by the church there was still space and even free 😁 Let's go... €6 per adult, €2 for children up to 14... justified for the effort that has to be made, I think. The first few meters go up the gravel path to …

After we had spent a lot of time with family and relatives, I drove on to Austria with my son. We were lucky with the rain because it stopped 10 km before Stans. We really liked the gorge, and also the food in the monastery with the beautiful wooden bridge in front of it.
