Wolfsklamm gorge circular hike

Helpful facts

The starting point in Stans is either at the paid parking lot at Der Brandstetterhof (€ 5/day) or free of charge at the Laurentius church (eastern village exit) - the path to the Wolfsklamm gorge is signposted from both parking lots. This adventurous hike leads over steps, trails and rocky gorges along impressive waterfalls and will make the hearts of children and adults beat faster. The path only climbs slightly at the beginning - after about 20 minutes of ascent, the real spectacle begins - the power of the water is experienced up close and yet at a safe distance and finally leads to an idyllic stream bed. From there, you continue over an impressive wooden bridge to the oldest place of pilgrimage in Tyrol, the St. Georgenberg rock monastery. Here you can enjoy culinary delights in the inn under ancient chestnut trees.

Back to Stans via the Way of the Cross. First take the same route as the ascent, but then walk along the wide pilgrims' path on the Way of the Cross (over a small bridge) until you reach the junction to Stans. You can stop off in Stans at Der Brandstetterhof, Gasthof Marschall or Restaurant Steiner. 

Descending via the Wolfsklamm gorge is prohibited!
