Hiking

The Leutaschen ghost gorge in Mittenwald is one of the most popular sights in the Karwendel Alpine world. Waterfalls, pools and deep gorges offer you an extraordinary natural experience. The two bridges that take you over the gorge are particularly impressive and have the potential to give you goosebumps.

It starts at the large Isar bridge on Innsbrucker Straße. You can reach this from the Dekan-Karl-Platz bus stop towards the south exit. So you can also travel comfortably by bus. You follow the forest path along the Leutascher Ache to the entrance to the Leutascher Geistklamm. The gorge kiosk is also located here.

The short climb through the forest soon begins - and from the panoramic bridge you can enjoy the first, spectacular views into the depths of the gorge. This leads over the gorge at a height of around 40 meters. Now the gorge footbridges take you even deeper into the gorge until you cross the water on the Höll Bridge. Various stations on the gorge walkways give you an insight into the creation of the Leutaschklamm.

On the opposite side you can walk to the Berggasthof Gletscherschliff (unfortunately permanently closed) and enjoy the view. Then you continue on the forest path, which leads you back to the entrance to the gorge and further into the town center.

The path through the gorge is good to go, but you should be free from giddiness.

Great view through the gorge. A head for heights definitely recommended. But it's worth it!

View of Leutasch Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

You have a great view of the gorge from this bridge. You shouldn't be afraid of heights. The bridge is very easy to reach via the footbridge and the paths are well made. I would still recommend wearing good shoes.

Leutaschklamm — Children's Paradise

Highlight • Gorge

On the paths through the Geisterklamm (Goblin path and Klammgeistweg) you will learn a lot about the legend of the gorge spirit and the little ones can safely go on a discovery tour through the wild and rough nature of the spirit realm.

June 29, 2025,Bayern - Leutascher Wasserfallsteig und Geisterklamm (Karwendel)

I first walked the waterfall trail to cool off. It costs €4 to enter, but it's well worth it; everything is well laid out.

After that, I zigzagged uphill. The upper part of the gorge is also equipped with walkways and stairs, making it a great place to walk and enjoy the view. The way back was more of a …

On the way back, the gorge spontaneously beckoned, so we laced up our hiking boots again and set off. Well-maintained walkways, easy to walk... a beautiful end to the day.

July 21, 2025,Durch die Leutasch-Klamm ab Mittenwald

After a rainy morning, some exercise is needed, and the circular walk through the gorge is a perfect hike. At the starting point, there are two paths – one directly into the gorge – via a turnstile for €4. Here, the water rushes mightily, and the fine spray from the waterfall is like the rain from the morning. The second …

May 28, 2023,057 Mittenwald, Leutascher Geisterklamm

On the last day of our Garmisch stay, a visit to the Leutasch Geisterklamm was on the agenda 📃. The gorge🏞 can be accessed both from the Bavarian mountain village⛰️🏘 Mittenwald and from Leutasch🏘 in Tyrol. ☝🏼 We chose the Mittenwald variant and used a paid parking lot 🅿️ on the outskirts. Unfortunately, the waterfall kiosk 🛖 and the waterfall …

Starting from Mittenwald, you have two options for going through the gorge. We chose the steep zigzag path and only discovered the entrance to the deeper area of the gorge at the end. This is chargeable, but worth it and leads to the large waterfall. The freely accessible path through the gorge is located very high and leads most of …

On Sunday, with little sleep and before we drove home, we wanted to do something. We had a short chat over breakfast and quickly agreed: we would hike through the Geisterklamm together before leaving Mittenwald.

Our day tour started in a good mood and with lots of photos. The path led steeply uphill and after a short time we reached …

June 9, 2025,Leutascher Geisterklamm

Off to the Leutauscher Geisterklamm (Ghost Gorge), a short distance along the Way of St. James. It's a superbly maintained gorge with two beautiful panoramic bridges and numerous waterfalls beneath the elevated footpaths. A definite recommendation for anyone stopping around Mittenwald. We then hiked back across the Austrian border. Several hiking options are available.

nice walk, just a shame that the cafe and kiosk were closed.
You should have a good level of fitness
You should also not be afraid of heights, the gorge is crossed by relatively narrow footbridges
We even met hikers with dogs, it didn't look like the dogs were comfortable, but there were no signs anywhere
Otherwise, if you can …
