Review:
The Lichtenstein gorge (Lichtensteinklamm) is among the longest and deepest gorges in the Austrian Alps. Located in the province of Salzburg, the gorge has been open to visitors since 1875 with several wooden footpaths and bridges aiding accessibility.
Boardwalks take visitors between the 1,000-foot high cliff walls alongside the water which has slowly carved this ravine over 10 million years. Enjoy breathtaking waterfalls, lush moss-covered stones, and rainbows created by the mix of sunlight and mist.
After a rock fall in the summer of 2017, the gorge boardwalks were reconstructed to provide for a sustainable and safe experience. It reopens in the fall of 2019.
