Groppensteinschlucht — Attraction in Obervellach

The Groppensteinschlucht was a beautiful place, with a scenic route by the gorge. The price isn’t too bad, and with Kärnten Card it is completely free to enter once. You need to have some stamina if you want to take on this journey, as it can get somewhat steep, which is also why sturdy shoes are needed. The path is structured pretty well, and you can’t get lost on the way. In the summer when the sun is out, it can get quite hot there, so bringing enough water is recommended. There is a small spring available for refilling water bottles on the way, and a few benches. I highly recommend...

Great gorge, must do when visiting Karnten. A nice hike with a wide view over the waterfalls and nature.

The path can be sometimes a bit steep or the stair steps a bit high. It could be difficult for smaller children, people with walking difficulties or small dogs.

Compared to Raggaslucht this one has more nature wide view. Only the walk down is a large part over the road. Last piece of trail down is rocky.

Total hike (round trip) is about 4km and will take you approximately 2-2.5hrs.

Parking is next to the cash desk and...

Plenty of free parking, recommend P2, and a friendly ticket desk. Well signposted circular route through some of the best gorge scenery in the Alps including huge powerful waterfalls. Walking boots needed for steep or stony sections. After the main gorge, the route continues round on the road with some more views of the landscape. Start early and take your time, it's 100% worth it! If you love a great waterfall hike you might like our YouTube channel Pack Lunch and Travel for ideas round Europe, the...
