From the gorge parking lot, it's about a 15-minute walk upstream along the stream to the Klammstüberl – the entrance to the gorge. Immediately beyond, the Wörschachbach stream roars through its rocky bed. The trail leads steadily uphill, partly on boardwalks and bridges. The rocks on both sides of the stream close in, leaving only a narrow gap above – it's truly impressive how the water has carved its way through the rock. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the gorge exit. From here, the landscape changes: you hike through a large basin with tall mixed forest up to a bench near the Kohlstatt, where charcoal was once produced. Continue westward and then descend via the forest road to the historic Wolkenstein Castle ruins with their still well-preserved walls. From the oriel windows, you have a magnificent view over the valley. From here, you can reach the starting point or the gorge parking lot again in about 10 minutes. Trail number: 1 An alternative route is available on the descent through the forest, where you will pass the sulfur spring. read more From the Ennstalbundesstraße B320 from both directions turn to Wörschach and follow the signs to the Klamm parking lot.Free parking at the Klamm parking lot or in the town center. read more Take the 940 bus to the "Wörschach Ort" stop.Bus schedule: [www.verbundlinie.at](http://www.verbundlinie.at)The nearest train station is in Wörschach (only regional trains stop there).Train timetable: [www.oebb.at](http://www.oebb.at) read more Turn back in good time if the weather deteriorates. If you get caught in a thunderstorm, stay away from individual trees. Wait out the storm, preferably in a crouched position. Stay on the marked paths and remember to close pasture fences. Keep calm in an emergency and call the mountain rescue service on 140. If you have no reception, take out your SIM card and dial 112. If you come across cows: It is best to pass above the herd at a distance of at least 50 meters. Stay calm, don't make any hectic movements and don't run away. Do not imitate cow sounds and do not try to stroke the animals. A stick and loud shouts can often make the animals turn back in an emergency. If you are a dog owner: clarify before the hike whether you need to cross a pasture. Keep your dog on a lead and make sure it behaves calmly. In the event of a cow attack, let your dog off the lead immediately. Never pick him up to defend him. Shoes with a light tread and clothing suitable for the weather are sufficient for this tour. Perhaps pack a small snack in your rucksack so that you can enjoy nature during a break. read more Sections of this tour are part of the northern route of the long-distance [hiking trail](https://www.steiermark.com/en/holiday/nature-and-movement/hiking/from-the-glaciers-to-wine/north-route) "From Glacier to Wine".**Tourism information:** [www.schladming-dachstein.at](http://www.schladming-dachstein.at)**Tourist Office Schladming-Dachstein** Ramsauerstrasse 756 8970 Schladming T: +43 3687 23310 Garbage on meadows and paths can not smell mountain and valley.
