Ysperklamm, Natural monument and canyon in Yspertal, Austria
Ysperklamm is a granite canyon in the Yspertal where the Ysper River flows downward and creates a series of waterfalls. The passages vary in width and the water level changes with the seasons and rainfall.
The canyon formed through natural erosion as water cut through granite over many periods of time. Protection began in the 1950s to preserve this geological formation for future generations.
The site draws visitors seeking direct contact with flowing water and stone formations in a managed natural setting. Access paths and wooden railings show how the area has been adapted for people to move through and observe the geological features.
You enter from a parking area where an information point welcomes visitors. The pathways are built with wooden planks and stairs, so wear sturdy shoes and move carefully on the damp surfaces.
On the sides you can find stone arrangements that visitors have created themselves, showing various shapes and images. These spontaneous creations tell of the long history of people visiting this place.
