Along the river Salza, this hike leads through the gorge - a refreshing circular hike for hot summer days!

The Salzaklamm is one of the top 5 power places in Mariazell Land: Treat yourself to your personal time-out with a cozy picnic at the power places of Mariazell Land. Power places have a striking, unique appearance and possess a special energy.

Comfortable, but in places challenging hike through a narrow, romantic forest valley, marked throughout. Ideal for families, but smaller children need a little support from time to time on the partly narrow paths (a back carrier would be ideal).At the end of the gorge there is the possibility to branch off to the "Gußwerker Rundwanderung".

Proper backpacking makes many things easier: pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit including blister plaster belongs in every backpack and dressing according to the "onion system" is always recommended!

Along the way: Girls willing to marry have to go through "Luckertes Kreuz" at "Kreuzberg" according to old folk belief praying three or nine times to get a good husband.
