The Breitachklamm gorge hike
Our premium excursion tip in Kleinwalsertal is definitely a visit or a hike through the Breitachklamm gorge.
The Breitachklamm gorge in summer in Kleinwalsertal is a fantastic place: rippling water surrounded by abstract rock formations. The water from the melting Breitach glacier started the formation of today's Breitachklamm gorge. Over the years, as the water made its way down into the valley, it gradually eroded the Schrattenkalk limestone of the Engenkopf and created the fascinating rock formations.
