Gorge
Innersbachklamm
General
The Innersbachklamm in the Salzburger Saalachtal is a real hidden gem. This small, secluded gorge near Reith bei Unken is not only free to visit but also exceptionally peaceful and picturesque. It’s a short yet impressive canyon that you can often enjoy all to yourself, making it a must-see spot for nature lovers that many tourists overlook.
Insider tips
As a local, I highly recommend visiting the Innersbachklamm in the summer. It’s freely accessible and especially beautiful on hot days, as you can cool off in the natural pools at the entrance. The walk through the gorge takes about 15 minutes and is easy to manage. If you come early in the morning or late in the afternoon, you’ll likely have the place all to yourself. The entrance is a bit hidden, which adds to its charm as a hidden gem. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes, as the wooden steps in the gorge can be slippery.
Duration
The hike through the Innersbachklamm takes about 15 minutes. Plan for about an hour in total to explore the surroundings at a leisurely pace and perhaps spend some time by the stream.
Difficulty
The hike through the Innersbachklamm is easy and suitable for all age groups. The paths are well-maintained, but the wooden steps can be slippery, so make sure to wear sturdy shoes.
Season
The best time to visit the Innersbachklamm is from May to October.
Getting there
I recommend arriving by car. There are parking spaces directly before the path to the gorge, but they are limited and can accommodate only 5 to 10 cars.
