Partnachklamm Gorge

On the fifth of July we decided to do some hiking and heard about this gorge that was pretty close.  Here is the entrance--it was like a tunnel.

We walked along this narrow rock path next to a rushing river.  Here is Marc next to the waterfall which  we could feel.

We walked through tunnels,

sometimes ducking under rock, and reached this!

It was breathtaking and powerful and very loud!  After the gorge we walked to the beach of the river where we saw lots of these.

Then we hiked up to the bridge which was about 200 feet above the river.  We crossed on this bridge.

This is the view looking straight down 200 feet.

We crossed the bridge and hiked uphill again and finally down to a little meadow village with a very cute little chapel.

We heard cowbells and saw one cow and also heard other bells and saw these.

A little closer....

We kind of took the wrong way down to the entrance and ended up walking/slipping down a very steep, switchback road/path with lots of gravel.  Marc saved me at least once from a total wipe out. Finally we made it back to the regular path and passed a lumber mill right beside the river.

And these haystacks I just loved!  Very quaint!

We went back to Garmisch-Partenkirchen where our room was and then went shopping in the little shopping area in town.
