Partnachklamm, Hollentalklamm or Leutaschklamm?

Posted by (North Carolina, US) on

I'm working on our June 2017 Germany trip. We are a family of 4 (2 adults & 13yr. & 11yr daughters) spending 3 nights in either Füssen or Garmisch-Partenkirchen traveling the area by rental car. We enjoy easy hikes and would like to visit at least one of these klamms but are unsure about their ease of hiking or if one is considered better than another. Does anyone have first hand experience hiking Partnachklamm, Höllentalklamm or Leutaschklamm?

It my understanding Partnachklamm is a relatively easy flat hike taking about 90mins. to 2hrs. with parking at the Olympic Stadium and modest entrance fee.

I've read others prefer Höllentalklamm maybe more picturesque? But I haven't heard how easy or hard the hike is or time to complete.

Based on the website, Leutaschklamm seems easy and would take about 3hrs to cover the 3 trails. But haven't read yet any first hand accounts. I know there is a car park on the Leutasch side for €5

I have hiked the gorge and it was an easy hike. There is some uphill between the ski stadium and the entrance booth to the gorge. Have a rain jacket with you as it will be cooler and wet in the gorge. We had no trouble finding our way through the gorge, but we were a little confused on the return journey. (We did not hike back against the crowd in the gorge). We ended up having a lovely hike, but it had steep grades up and down taking the alternate route back.

I have hiked Partnachklamm and Höllentallerklamm ( several times for that one) not the third one you mention. I much prefer Höllentallerklamm but it is indeed more challenging, especially if you walk it both ways ( downhill is not my favorite thing).

Partnachklamm was so easy we felt we did not get enough exercise so we lapped around and did it twice. After the second lap we hiked down to a funny little lift ( very old-fashioned) and rode the rest of the way down. That might be fun for the kids.
