Wedged between the Watzmann and the Hochkalter, the water plunges through a narrow ravine in which, over thousands of years, it has ground the limestone smooth and washed out deep potholes. From countless crevices in the rock walls the water gushes and sprays, so that the whole gorge lies in fine mist and constant roaring.<\/p>\n<p>The Wimbach Gorge became accessible towards the end of the 19th century, when bold wooden walkways and tunnels were built into the sheer walls, leading visitors close above the roaring water through the narrows; it is considered one of the oldest developed gorges in the region. Above the gorge opens the wide Wimbachgries, a vast scree basin in which the stream seeps away in the summer rubble and flows on invisibly, only to come to light again in the gorge. The surrounding Ramsau has been regarded since the 19th century as the cradle of mountain tourism in the Berchtesgaden region, and the picturesque parish church of St. Sebastian, set against the backdrop of the Watzmann, is one of the most photographed scenes in the Bavarian Alps. The Wimbach Gorge thus tells of the untameable power of water, which conquers even the hardest rock over time.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#221c1a;color:#fff;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 22px;margin-top:28px;\"><strong style=\"font-size:1.08em;\">Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0 12px;color:#d8d2cc;font-size:14px;\">To make your trip run smoothly , our guides and gear tips for this destination:<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;\"><a href=\"\/en\/wanderschuhe\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hiking boots \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/schichtenprinzip-bekleidung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Layering guide for clothing \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-tages-bergwanderung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Day-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die Wimbachklamm liegt am Ausgang des Wimbachtals in Ramsau im Nationalpark Berchtesgaden. \u00dcber Stege und Br\u00fccken f\u00fchrt seit 1847 ein rund 200 m langer Weg durch die vom Wimbach ausgewaschene Schlucht.
