There's no entrance fee, and the rain has caused the vegetation to grow well, somewhat obscuring the view. I found the climb through the forest very steep and strenuous, but the descent through the gorge was much more pleasant.

Starting point: 🅿️ near the Barbarossa Gorge Beautiful gorge with a moderate level of difficulty. Also suitable for a family hike. The entire loop is designed as a themed hike, with several signs telling the story of Emperor Barbarossa. The gorge and also 🅿️ are free of charge 👍. 🙋‍♀️ 🙋‍♂️

Holiday mode: spontaneously booked and stranded in Obervellach / Carinthia - Hohe Tauern... and today we hiked through two gorges, here the Barbarossa Gorge: Another great gorge, with a great story about Barbarossa, distributed on large boards. This gorge is not advertised that big here and was therefore rather quiet with few other people. Incidentally, the path through the gorge is part of the Alpe-Adria-Trail.

Actually not a big gorge, but due to the many elaborately made information boards you need your time if you want to read everything about Emperor Barbarossa and his followers The weather wasn't nice, but it stayed dry. Also good ...

Very beautiful, mystical gorge. Hardly any visitors. Sturdy shoes and sure-footedness are recommended.

The 9th stage of the Alpe-Adria Trail, the fascinating long-distance hiking trail from the Großglockner to the Adriatic Sea, leads through the Barbarossa Gorge! The hike into the gorge takes approximately 90 minutes as a circular route. Footbridges and bridges cross the waterfalls and cascades of the mountain stream. Those who wish can, of course, cool off in the icy mountain waters. Emperor Frederick I, known as Barbarossa, rested in the gorge on his way back from one of his crusades, hence its name. Tired from the war and the long journey, he fell asleep with his warriors when the devil appeared to him. The devil once banished Emperor Frederick I, known as Barbarossa, to this gorge. On his way back from one of his crusades, he rested in the gorge, where, tired from the war and the long journey, he fell asleep with his warriors. According to legend, Barbarossa still awaits his release. Overgrown rocks seem to continue the story of Barbarossa. The legend can be explored along the enchantingly beautiful gorge path. The Barbarossa Gorge offers adventure, history, and nature for the whole family. A trip to the gorge is definitely worth it.

Easy hike, many panels with reports from Emperor Drosselbart and myths from the gorge;

All good things come in threes and so the Barbarossa Gorge made it into the day's program as a short afternoon hike. And so a wonderful day came to an end. In the end, the day's performance was 12 km and 750 meters of elevation, so a completely normal day of hiking, which actually didn't happen given the rainy weather forecast.
