Liechtensteinklamm - Austria's Dramatic Green Gorge
Tucked away in Austria's picturesque Lower Alps near Vienna lies the dramatic natural wonder of Liechtensteinklamm Gorge. Carved out over thousands of years by the rushing Liechtensteinklamm river, the narrow limestone gorge plunges 900 feet between sheer cliffs towering up to 300 feet high.
Named after the mysterious greenish gleam of the cliffs from the river below, Liechtensteinklamm thrills visitors who hike forested trails down to access ladders and walkways bolted to the gorge walls. Within the damp darkness, wooden platforms allow close-up views of thundering waterfalls and cavernous tunnels behind the cascades.
Spring snowmelt swells the river's flow but Liechtensteinklamm impresses year-round. Regular bus tours run from Vienna just 75 minutes away. The gorge's raw natural beauty and adventure draw outdoor enthusiasts eager to explore its unique microclimate and geology.
Whether traversing narrow cliffside paths or gazing up at the majestic rock walls named "Way of the Dragon," Liechtensteinklamm rewards intrepid travelers willing to venture into this magical gorge landscape.
