- Joann BSeattle, Washington115 contributionsBeautiful hike throughout the woods! Incredible!I was very interested in this Klamm…had read about it in advance of our trip! It wasn’t terribly easy to find, but it surely did not disappoint! It is stunning, breathtaking scenery all around you throughout the hike! It’s fun, challenging, beautiful and a but unusual. Do not MISS this! It’s a must do!Visited September 2022Traveled as a coupleWritten May 10, 2023
- Randman17 contributionsSpectacular ViewThe climb was well worth the view. I won't lie the climb was long but the payoff was one of the most spectacular views I have seen. The walk from town was easy and the trail was full of others going to make the climb or see the falls. Mittenwald is a gem, if you are thinking about a day trip from Munich this is one you should consider. Beautiful town with murals on so many building, friendly people and views that leave you breathless.Visited May 2023Written June 13, 2023
- Kevin PWaihi Beach, New Zealand432 contributionsImpressive engineeringThis was a pretty good hike through a deep gorge with a cantilevered walkway. Considerable expense and effort must have been made to have built this. Great goblin stories abound too. Very entertaining. About 3km all up, allow about 2h. Free entry but the parking is 6 euro.Visited June 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten June 25, 2023
- Chris BAlbany, Australia269 contributionsIncredible and very accessibleA really short and easy walk from town and you can see some incredible scenery. The walk through the top of the gorge is free and very, very accessible to everyone. There’s a second walk at the bottom on some private land which costs a couple of euros, but absolutely worth it.Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten September 14, 2023
- Tom MHobart, Indiana53 contributionsGreat Walkway, Nice HikeThe only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that I also visited the Partnachklamm and the Breitachklamm on this trip. This is a very easy hike with a nicely constructed walkway to make getting around the gorge very easy. Extremely enjoyable morning and not crowded at all.Visited June 2023Traveled with familyWritten October 17, 2023

After walking lots of gorges our expectations are perhaps higher than others but I didn't find this gorge so special. We were happy to be early because it was quiet on both the parking as on the path along the gorge. Parking was 5 euro for the full day. Entrance to the gorge is free. There is entertainment for the kids (there is a story about the gorge (and ghosts) about which is told along the path in a kid-friendly way).
The path is very well-maintained but perhaps not that suitable for people with fear of heights because you walk high above the gorge on a path that is fixed to the rock wall. Yes, therefore you have a nice view on the water and the beautiful colours but in my opinion it does not give you the gorge experience because you walk so far away from it for the entire time. There are some nice bridges that you have to cross, good to make some beautiful photos but at the end of the path (around 30 minutes) I was like ''is this it?''. Due to COVID the way back is through the forest and not through the gorge.

This is a great location to experience a wonder of nature. The paths and bridges over the gorge are easy to walk. No steep climbs and therefore good for us "senior citizens".
Parking is vailable and from there it is a few minutes walk to the gorge.

Wonderful hike to the waterfall! Simple enough for seniors, but still spectacular view. It’s a little hard to find. I recommend parking at the Floberei statue in Mittenwald. Walk across the bridge and turn left immediately.

Easy to access and really worth to go.
Breathtaking sound of the powerful waterfall from the rocks. You’ll walk there over a small bridge around 150 meter.
Definitely stop here and check it out. On the way to the falls you can try to go in the river. But careful! It’s ice cold and the current is strong. Do it once in your life. It’s a great experience.

Park for free with no time limit in Mittenwald center in lot P1 (near the train station), and take an easy, well-signed 15 minute level walk to the gorge which is on the edge of town. Then prepare yourself for a FREE, totally unique, elevated walk through a narrow rushing gorge that will take about an hour to traverse through and back. Initially there is a 15-20 minute steady climb up a wide, graveled path to get up to the level of the metal walkway. The gorge walkway at the top is suspended from horizontal steel supports driven into the cliff at mid-height (50-75 feet up from the water) all along the gorge, and you can look straight down through the metal grate you're walking on to the wildly rushing water far below. At a couple points there are narrow bridges across the gorge, for those who need an additional thrill. Options: 1. take a forest path back (we didn't; why choose a path in the woods over another round of pure adrenaline?) 2. Pay 3 euros to walk on a short waterfall path near the entrance, down at water level (we didn't; where we come from, we get our fill of world class waterfalls which this one wasn't). When you're done, stroll back into Mittenwald and choose from among the many food and drink options along the way, starting with the gasthaus right at the bottom of the gorge. BTW, we saw people of all ages (infant to 80's) traversing the gorge with no apparent problems (including one woman in 2" heels, believe it or not).

During a recent stay in Seefeld, we (2 adults and 2 children aged 12 and 10) caught a bus to Leutasch for the Leutaschklamm gorge. We nearly didn't go as the leaflet (picked up from local tourist info office) made it sound like a goblin/fairy folly. It was, however, one of the most stunning places we have ever visited.
The walk, for the most part, is on a suspended metal walkway. It is extremely sturdy, however, may not suit those afraid of heights. The route was broken into three routes - red, blue and green (see pic). We did all three. The red route was easy, the blue route was of medium difficulty and the green route was also easy although very wet due to the water spray/mist from the waterfall, therefore, could be slippy. The blue route was steep in places, both up and down slopes. We saw children as young as 5 walking it (although with a little complaint) and older people slowly making their way through the downwards steeper sections.
The red and blue routes are free, but the waterfall at the end of the green section is €3 and well worth the money! There is also a cafe and toilets at the waterfall station and at the start of the walk (which seemed new and were very clean).
I would recommend walking down the red route, then continue on the blue after the bridge to the waterfall and green route. Rather than walk on the other side for the return journey, consider retracing your steps, that route is much more beautiful.
Sone people walked from the Waterfall station to Mittenwald for the cable car and reported wonderful scenery.

This place is simply a must see! It's a canyon with aqua waters rushing through it. It's simply beautiful. With that said, I'm glad you're reading this because it will allow you to plan your trip better than I did. The Leutascher Geisterklamm (LG) can be accessed from either Germany in the east or Austria in the west. Like 90% of it is in Austria and you can walk from one end (country) to the other. However, both countries will give you a very different experience. We parked on the Austrian side for €5 and walked the length of it and back, a distance of 3.9 miles (6.3km). It took 2 hours and 45 minutes, which was unfortunately about 2 hours 15 minutes longer than we thought it would take to see this. Starting from the Austrian side, you walk about 15 minutes before the trail starts to go downhill. A few minutes later you will reach the canyon edge where you'll walk on a metal walkway bolted to the cliff face for most of the length of the canyon. You can see the water rushing about 100 meters below you, and it's beautiful. However you can see through the metal walkway so it may not be the place to go if you are afraid of heights. Eventually, after the second bridge, the path goes up into the woods before descending to the canyon floor on the German side.
At this point, on the German side, you get a completely different experience of the gorge. For €3, you can walk just a few feet above the rushing waters deep down in the canyon. You may have seen this on Pinterest. It's cool being so deep in the canyon and seeing the water up close- it's beautiful! The path going into the gorge from this side is much shorter and finishes with a waterfall. You can then hike back to the top of the canyon and back to your car in Austria. You can either go back the way you came or take a shorter, more direct path that does not allow you views of the gorge; we took the latter.
Here's the thing though. You could make the case this is better than the Austrian side. Personally, I think neither is better than the other. With that said, the Austrian side is more equipped for tourists with the parking lot and stuff, the German side is MUCH easier to get to, especially from where you leave your car. The problem with the German side is there's no parking to speak of, just a few cars pulled over on the side of the road. Also the road it's on is so small it's easy to overlook. Driving over from the Austrian side, there's one sign for it, but it's easy to miss.
So that's the thing. Decide how much time and energy you want to spend seeing this the decide to a) see the Austrian side, b) see the German side or c) spend half the day seeing both sides. No matter what you do though, it'll be worth it.

Mittenwald is located in Germany close to the Austrian border. To visit the gorge you need to park on the main road (and pay for parking) and walk about 15 minutes to the start of the gorge walk. This is where there is either a short walk with a small charge to get a view of the gorge or two much longer walks which are free of charge. There is a disgusting toilet here. We chose one of the longer walks which lasted about an hour, crosses over the German/Austrian border a couple of times and crosses the gorge on a high bridge. Some parts of the walk are a bit difficult so you need to be relatively capable but our two children managed it quite easily. There is a cafe/bar with good toilet facilities mid way through the walk. Most of the walk is through the woods with only very limited views of the gorge itself. So you are faced with a short walk to get a good view of the gorge or a longer walk with less good views.

You can access from either Germany or Austria. The Austrian address is Schanz 273a, Leutasch, Austria. There is a parking lot and visitor center.
From Germany (Mittenwald), I encourage you to park in one of the many public parking lots and walk to the entrance. Follow Innsbrucker Str. There is a pedestrian only turnoff on the North side of the Isar River crossing. The walk is about 1km from this juncture.

I'm planning on taking family there and wait on them since I'm not too good with heights, after parking how long does it take for them to get to the site, on the bridge, walk it out and return back to the parking area?

There is a steep climb for the first 1km or so. Otherwise the trail is easy. I recommend 1-2 hours.

It’s available to walk around at anytime, but you will need sunlight and the cafes/facilities are probably 8-6 during the main season.

Der Wasserfallsteig ist nur in den warmen Sommermonaten geöffnet. Im Winter ist die Gefahr durch Eis, Schnee und Gesteinsschlag zu groß. In dieser Zeit kann die Leutaschklamm aber im oberen Teil (Klammgeistweg, Koboldpfad) begangen werden. Die moderne Konstruktion verhindert das Vereisen der Wege. Dennoch kann es bei starken Schneefällen oder Reparaturarbeiten zur Schließung der Leutaschklamm kommen. Informieren Sie sich deshalb am besten bei Ihrem Gastgeber oder bei der Touristeninformation über den aktuellen Stand in der Leutaschklamm.
Сколько стоит вход? И сколько времени занемает весь путь?

Мы заезжали с австрийской стороны. Это было в конце апреля. Никакой платы за вход не было. Платили только за парковку.
По времени - мы прошли все ущелье и спустились с немецкой стороны, затем посетили кафе (пообедали) и вернулись почти тем же путём в Австрию. На все это примерно ушло часа 3-3,5

We walked from the center of the city, its not that far, there's a couple of signs (in german) its nice and flat until you reach the hike, but then it goes uphill and I wouldn't. Call it a hard walk, but I'm only 28 years old and got a bit sweat on my face hehe. Not much to do in mittenwald really, but that's exactly what's great about it. It's the atmosphere and great landscape around it. A small place of well kept bayrisch culture :-)
