Starzlachklamm, Natural monument in Sonthofen, Germany
Starzlachklamm is a slot canyon in Sonthofen that has been carved by the Starzlach River into limestone over thousands of years, creating a narrow gorge with towering walls. The path through the canyon reveals waterfalls, deep pools, and smooth rock surfaces shaped by flowing water.
The gorge formed through erosion by the Starzlach River, which cut through rock over a long period and shaped the present-day valley. This geological process shows how water transforms landscapes over extended timeframes.
The name comes from the Starzlach River that flows through the gorge and collects water in several natural basins. These pools are a defining feature of how visitors experience the flowing water during their walk.
The visit requires proper footwear with good grip, since many paths are wet and slippery. The area is accessible year-round, but it is wise to be cautious during heavy rain as water levels can rise quickly.
At the end of the gorge stands a natural water slide where visitors can glide through the final section of the path when conditions permit. This special feature makes the conclusion of the walk an unforgettable moment for those seeking adventure.
