Gleirschklamm

The Gleirschklamm is a limestone gorge carved by the Gleirschbach stream in the Karwendel range above Seefeld in Tirol, a 1,200-meter plateau village 25 minutes by train from Innsbruck. The narrow canyon has waterfalls and polished rock walls and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours round trip. Small entry fee; best in summer or early autumn when water is not at meltwater peak. Seefeld is better known for cross-country skiing and golf, but the gorge is the natural feature worth seeking out. Combine with a walk through the village to see the pilgrimage church that dates the town’s fame to a documented 1384 miracle story.
