Through the Wolfsklamm to St. Georgenberg (IVV)
...

Thundering waterfalls, emerald green pools and the fine spray of water make the gorge an impressive natural experience.

This adventurous hike takes you over around 350 steps, wooden walkways and rocky gorges alongside impressive waterfalls to Tyrol's oldest place of pilgrimage – the St. Georgenberg rock monastery. The thunder of the Stanser Bach stream and the power of the water give this hike through one of Tyrol's most beautiful gorges its special charm – and on hot summer days it is also pleasantly cool and refreshing.
