The first part of the walk takes you through Talbachklamm gorge, which has a special charm in winter. The small rivulets entering the gorge from the side form bizarre ice sculptures. From Untertal-Dorf you then walk up to the sunny plateau of Rohrmoos. Along the route there are several opportunities to stop for a refreshment.
Author’s recommendation
The walk is also a good option for the evening. There is lighting along the entire route. Additionally Talbachklamm gorge has its own discreet effect lighting. The lighting through the gorge is switched off at midnight.
