We all really enjoyed hiking through Partnach Gorge.
We are so glad we fit this in our plans for our Bavarian trip! It’s just beautiful.
The rushing river before we reached the entrance.
We saw all kinds of snails and slugs and some lovely wild orchids on the way.
Magical waterfall
We loved the beautiful rock formations and waterfalls. Great opportunity to discuss erosion.
We made it through!
Looking back:
We had to explore the river bank.
Getting there:
It is best to park in front of the Olympic Ski Stadium and walk to the entrance of Partnach Gorge. It’s quite a long way and there is no sidewalk or path or sign. The ticket booth is even farther down a wooded sidwalk, again with no signs.
Things to know:
The path is 700 meters long and the gorge walls are about 80 meters above the river. The hike takes about 30 minutes. Then you have to return the way you came.
There are lots of hiking paths that go through the mountains and above the gorge.
It is not stroller friendly. Wear your babies. Hold children closely and go very slowly. It is slippery and dangerous with the rocks and water spray. There is hardly any railing in some places!
I suggest wearing raincoats and bringing flashlights. We used the lights on our iPhones for the darker places. Umbrellas aren’t very useful, but we saw lots of people using them.
