Leutaschklamm and other Mittenwald, Germany Things to Do Tips

Not only is the Leutaschklamm a natural wonder, it is also a geographical curiousity. At the start of your journey into the gorge, you are still in Germany - but it`s only a few steps and you`re over the border into Austria. The funny thing is, you can`t get to the gorge from the Austrian side at all! At the end of this winding gorge, there is a waterfall that flows into water so clear it could only come from a glacier. A walkway that allows visitors to get up close was first built in 1880, but destroyed and rebuilt 4 times leading up to its present incarnation.
Even though you`ll get hot on the walk up here (about 25 min from the town center), once you enter the gorge, the temperature drops radically, so don`t forget a jacket!
We just loved this - I will upload some pics as soon as they are developed!
