Pähler Schlucht, Chine and waterfall in Pähl, Germany
The Pähler Schlucht extends for 1000 meters along the Burgleitenbach stream, featuring a 16-meter waterfall and reaching a width of 100 meters.
Since August 23, 1983, the Pähler Schlucht has been designated as a protected nature reserve with the official code NSG100.078.
The gorge sits within the Pfaffenwinkel region of Upper Bavaria, an area characterized by its diverse landscapes and natural formations.
Due to significant landslides and rock falls affecting path safety, the municipal council permanently closed all public access routes to the gorge in 2024.
Behind the main waterfall, formed by the Burgleitenbach stream falling over a tufa stone edge, visitors could previously walk through a passage.
