Tips for active holidaymakers
  • Gilfenklamm Canyon: On its course, Racines River turns into thunderous water masses, which have paved a way through the rocky marble canyon. In the core of the canyon, you enjoy breath-taking views deep down to the water, and the hiking trail leads over suspension brindges and steps across this nature reserve.
  • The Burghardklamm Canyon also awaits you with waterfalls, gorges and suspension bridges.

Fortress "Franzensfeste"
The Fortezza Fortress was planned and constructed within only five years (1833 - 1838) by the genius royal officers Franz von Scholl and Karl von Mártony. The plans were based on the most recent state of fortress architecture, and was one of the strongest fortresses in the Alpine region during this period. It is a giant labyrinth of rooms, hallways and stairs.
