Rosengartenschlucht — Attraction in Imst

Fantastic and free. Many of these gorges in the area have a cost to enter, this one does not - entirely free, and probably open 24/7. It also feels more natural - there are rough spots, low overhangs, and steep inclines that will make you break a sweat - not a stroll in the park, but instead a beautiful, slightly challenging hike that's extremely convenient to get to, right from the town center of Imst.

Park in the paid parking lot right across from the church at the entrance. Plenty of signage to Rosengartenschluct ensure you can't miss it.

All around a great experience, we went up the canyon on 12:00, to go down the canyon on 20:00, after having spent an entire day hiking in the moutains above. It's a great way to get to Hoch-Imst, from where you'll be able to take a cable car up the Alpjoch, or ride on the alpine coaster, or see an alpine zoo, ...

It's best walked through either in the morning or at late afternoon, since there'll be less people in your pictures then. The path itself varies from "very pleasant" to "pretty rough", yet it's all very much doable for an intermediate hiker.

The canyon itself is absolutely stunning, we were able to take a lot of...
