Wanderung ins Vomper Loch
...

The Vomper Loch is considered one of the wildest and most remote corners of the Karwendel. An extraordinary hike through unspoilt mountain scenery awaits you, offering fascinating views both far and wide and deep into the valley.

A complete traverse of the gorge, which is around ten kilometres long and narrows to 1,400-metre-high rock faces in its most spectacular sections, requires considerable stamina, sure-footedness and mountaineering experience. This route is particularly attractive in late autumn, when the foliage is ablaze with colour.
