We were looking forward to this after recommendations by friends in Tirol. It was difficult to find but it didn't disappoint. Its 5 Euros to park the car and after that entry is free. you have to pay 3 Euros for the small walk to the waterfall but its well worth it.The views are stunning especially from the panoramic bridge. There are signs up along the way to explain the history of the place and thins for the kids to do. There is a small hut where you can have food and drinks close to the waterfallThere is a small cafe near the car park for ice cream, coffee and cake. Great day out
The walk through the gorge is on a walkway built halfway up the gorge and giving you a wonderful view of the river as it rushes through the gorge.If you start at the car park end, half way round is a coffee/ice cream shop where you can rest up or purchase tickets to see more of the gorge at waterfall. Carrying on the circular walk passes uphill through the woods and back to the car park.A relatively easy walk which our elderly parents managed with ease.Also good on a hot day as the gorge remains fairly cool.
I suppose we had to pay to park, but still. The impressive steel walkways above the rushing river were exhilarating to walk on and the bridges gave us spectacular views over the gorge and into the valley near the end. We did this walk to break up a drive between Munich and Innsbruck and didn't regret it one bit.
In most countries you would pay to walk the Gorge....very spectacular, but unless walking the whole length from Leustach to Mittenwald or vice versa as part of a longer stroll a trip half way and back will suffice as it does become monotonous ....if amazing scener can .......
It was a good walk along the gorge, but probably more for families with children. There were activities for them to try along the way, which I am sure they would enjoy.
We visited from Mittenwald and loved it! The water is absolutely gorge-ous! Visiting in the off season was a plus as we were the only people there that day, though all the signs were covered with tarps for the winter. It's much shorter than I expected so you can't even make a half day of it but it's worth checking out.
Reading several reviews on Tripadvisor we decided the trip to Leutascher Geisterklamm. I was worrying about my little one who is 5 and a half years old because people mentioned that one needed 'a good head for heights' to make this trip. No problem! We took a 2.5 km trail around the gorge and every member of my family including the little one had really enjoyed the walk. Looking down crystal clear water flowing following the gorge was gorgeous. We could identify a big fish in there. The trail was designed in a careful way that even first-time visitors could easily find the way ahead. Very often we ran into a post with interesting stories about geister or monster in the gorge or little gadgets to play with. English and other major languages are shown along with Deutsche on the posts. It took us 1.5 hr to walk around the trail. A great walk!
This walk through the gorge is free except for the waterfall at the bottom which was only 2.50 euros. there is a wonderful panoramic bridge and walkways about 45 metres above the river. It took us about an hour to stroll through. There are some steep paths but not too many.
We enjoyed making this ride along the gorge. The path is fantastic and you realy feel the connection with the nature. I saw everybody posted pictures before, so I will not repeat them. You have to see the water with your own eyes. The visit is free but to see the waterfall you have to pay 3 euro/adult and 1 euro/child. Also at the end you have a small refreshment bar where you can make a stop and take a break after the ride. You have to ascend a liitle bit (mainly on the way back) so be prepared...I would recommend it to everybody who likes nature and its wonders.
Landed at Munich, driving to the Austrian Alps. Walking this trail is a wonderful way to stretch the bones after the long sitting. Water is running down below, the forest around you smells and sounds like forests should. Many stations along the trail for curious kids (and parents). JUST what we needed!!
