Description Destination

Are you looking for a special adventure? Then off to the Klobenstein smugglers’ trail! Almost 2000 years ago, this route was already an important trade route from north to south – and vice versa. The Celts already travelled along this route and transported goods from distant regions – and of course numerous smugglers also chose this route as a smuggling route.
"Walking on the old tracks of the smugglers"
The trail takes you on a medium-difficulty, red mountain trail from Schleching in Bavaria or from Kössen in Tyrol along the Großache through the gorge. You will hike, with some challenging climbs, along the notorious route of the packhorses and smugglers to numerous breathtaking views with newly constructed viewing platforms and rest areas - into the "heart of the canyon"!
Here, a circular path leads you over two mighty suspension bridges – to the mystical power place of the Maria Klobenstein pilgrimage church with the legendary »geklobenen Stein« and the Entenlochklamm gorge and the renaturalized, historic glacier mills. Then you go back again – or you continue your journey to the respective neighboring country. You can plan your return journey comfortably and in an environmentally friendly way using public transport.
If you want something a little more exciting, you can go kayaking or rafting through the gorge, safely accompanied by experienced adventure guides.

Past the Niederwies farm, the path joins the charming smugglers' path. The 33m long suspension bridge takes you to the pilgrimage site of Klobenstein.
