Tour description
This winter hiking trail leads you through the Talbach Gorge, which offers a special charm in winter. The many small streams and rivulets that flow into the gorge from the sides often form bizarre ice formations. The hike is also possible in the evening and is a truly special experience. The path through the gorge is illuminated until midnight, and there is additional themed lighting for the gorge and the Talbach stream.
The Talbach Gorge winter hiking trail has been awarded the Austrian Hiking Seal of Quality.
