What is your favorite gorge ("klamm") hike in Germany or the surrounding area? If you've done several, how would you rank them?
Here are the ones I know of -- let me know if there are other good ones I'm missing:
For those interested, I found a list of the top 20 gorge hikes; not sure how reliable it is.
The Breitach Klamm between Oberstdorf Allgäu and the Kleinwalsertal in Austria
My favorites are:
- Wimbachklamm, Ramsau
- Ravennaschlucht, Breitnau
- Steinklamm, Spiegelau
- Partnachklamm, Garmisch-Partenkirchen
- Lammerklamm, Scheffau
- Almbachklamm, Marktschellenberg
Let me add Obere Schleuse gorge, boat only, on the Kirnitzsch stream in National Park Saxon Switzerland.
Its not Switzerland its Saxony in Germany so called "Sächsische Schweiz" to avoid misunderstandings ;o)
We've walked the Partnachklamm and Geisterklamm quite a few times. You walk the Partnachklamm down at the bottom of the gorge itself, so it's a powerful experience. The Geisterklamm has a metal walkway high up on the gorge, so it's not as intense.
Seisenbergklamm. In Austria but not far from Berchtesgaden if you are staying there.
