Dr.-Vogelgesang-Klamm

The Dr.-Vogelgesang-Klamm extends over 1.5 kilometers through limestone formations, featuring 500 wooden and stone steps along waterfalls in Upper Austria.

The gorge pathway opened for tourists in 1906, faced destruction from floods in 1913, and underwent complete reconstruction between 1926 and 1927.

The gorge received its name from Dr. Moritz Vogelgesang, the local physician who led initiatives to make the natural formation accessible to visitors.

Visitors can access the gorge from May through October, with parking facilities for 150 vehicles and connections to hiking routes toward Bosruckhütte.

The wooden infrastructure requires annual maintenance each spring due to damage from winter conditions, ensuring safe passage for 30,000 annual visitors.
