Alplochschlucht, Limestone canyon in Vorarlberg, Austria
The Alplochschlucht extends through layers of limestone rock, forming deep vertical walls and narrow passages shaped by the Dornbirn Ach river.
Over hundreds of thousands of years, the continuous flow of the Dornbirn Ach river carved this geological formation into the limestone landscape of Vorarlberg.
The canyon serves as an educational site where guides lead tours explaining the geological processes and natural features of the Vorarlberg region.
Visitors can access the canyon via bus line 177 from Dornbirn station to Gütle, where parking facilities and information centers are available.
The Alplochschlucht, combined with the adjacent Rappenloch gorge, forms one of the largest canyon systems in Central Europe.
