We will begin our trek through the gorge from the district of Schmelzhütten. Join me!

The village Flattach is directly opposite. We wear sturdy shoes and weatherproof clothes because the water is foaming and splashing in the gorge and the footbridges could be wet (be careful when it is wet – there is a danger of slipping). After about 10 minutes’ walk through the village of Schmelzhütten we reach the cash desk (entrance to the gorge).

Let’s start! It is simply impressive; our way leads us over artistically arranged wooden footbridges. Past vertical rock faces the roar of the water fills the air. In thousands of years of work the Raggabach created one of the most beautiful natural gorges in the Alps.

After about 200 meters of altitude difference and 800 m length we have walked through the gorge, and we deserve a refreshment. Now we take the way back to the valley. After about 1.5 hours of total walking time (circular route) we reach our starting point again. As a souvenir from our visit, we can purchase from a wide range of beautiful and funny souvenirs, magnets, stones and much more at Anita’s Kiosk – right next to the cashdesk. 

The nearby Café Greissler offers a variety of delightful treats such as coffee, ice cream, and homemade cakes
