Üble Schlucht, Protected canyon in Laterns, Austria
The Üble Schlucht extends 500 meters through limestone formations, featuring steep rock walls and rapid-flowing river sections interspersed with calm pools.
The gorge served as a vital transportation route for log floating between Laternsertal and Rhine Valley, despite its dangerous nature for early travelers.
The name Üble Schlucht translates to Bad Gorge, reflecting the perilous conditions encountered by timber raftsmen navigating this narrow river passage.
The canyon requires proper hiking footwear and demands caution, as sections remain closed during winter months due to potential rock falls.
This protected area spans 7.59 hectares and maintains one of Vorarlberg's few low-altitude regions untouched by human development.
