Breitachklamm — Attraction in Oberstdorf

A beautiful gorge in Oberstdorf! It is definitely a must go destination when you are planning to visit the area. I took RE 76 towards Oberstdorf from Munich and just disembark in the last station, the journey took around two hours and a half. From Oberstdorf you will have to take bus number 44 to go to the station Breitachklamm. Once you arrive in the parking lot there will be a sign on where to buy tickets, It will cost you €7.50 per person (adult). There are a lot of different routes you can take but I think by default you would have to take first the red route because it is the one that goes through the gorge. Me and my friend wanted to see what was ahead so we went on with the green route after being done with the red route and it was beautiful, there were a few places alongside the river that you can access to sit and touch the water, there were also amazing spots to take photos. Although as the green route was the longest one and needed a lot of time that we did not have because it was already quite late, we decided to turn back and take the orange route back to the bus station. The gorge was gorgeous! The red route that goes through the gorge needed around thirty to fifty minutes to complete depending on how much photos and breaks you take in between. At the checkpoint you can choose on which route will you take next. I think the shortest you can take is going back with the orange route. Taking the red and then the orange route would probably take you one hour and a half. The hike was easy and I believe anyone who is fit will be able to do it, including kids. It was an amazing first experience for me going through a gorge as this one left me in awe. 100%...

This main entrance is closer to the gorge and has toilets , so the parking P1 gets full very quickly. The other end parking P2 at Walserschanz just across the austrian border involves a steep pebbly path down to the gorge and a free section of the gorge till reaching the paid entrance kasse 2. Water drips in places, pleasant enough on a warm day. Walking through the gorge one way takes about 45 min. We walked P2 to P1 .Instead of turning back, one can walk along the route up near the Breitachkapelle ( steep) upto the Dornach Alp, then along a short level path with view of the meadows and cows grazing, then down to the zwingsteg bridge ( steep) and once again up to the parking P2 that includes a short walk along the pavement on the highway. All paths well marked. Good closed walking shoes recommended because of slippery gravel. Takes overall 2 hours roundtrip. If want to avoid all this up and down walking, easiest option is to park at P1, walk along the gorge and back again...
