This is a short but awe-inspiring route through the Wimbach Gorge, in which the water of the Wimbach torrent roars its way through the Dachstein limestone. Even today, fossils in the rock walls tell of times when a sea covered the area here. There is a fee for entering the gorge and parking; children up to 6 years can join for free. The Wimbachklamm is open from May to October, but changes are possible due to the weather.
