Notgasse Gröbming

The Notgasse comprises a dry gorge with walls rising up to 60 meters, forming a natural pathway at the base of Stoderzinken mountain.

The oldest dated rock carving discovered in Notgasse dates back to 1643, while researchers suggest some engravings could be up to 1200 years old.

The passage served as a traditional route for alpine farmers, muleteers, and charcoal burners connecting Gröbming to the eastern Dachstein plateau pastures.

The hiking trail extends 10.7 kilometers with 150 meters of ascent and 1,050 meters of descent, requiring approximately 4 hours to complete.

The name Notgasse originates from the Celtic word 'hnod', meaning sacred fire, indicating the ancient spiritual significance of this geological formation.
