Jägersteig Weizklamm
Open
The Jägersteig is a short but exciting hike in the Weizklamm gorge. With caves, a suspension bridge and ropes on the walls to hold on to, it is a highlight in our region.
The starting point of the Jägerteig is the car park in Naas. Right at the beginning, the ascent is a little steeper. The path is impressive, as it is very steep in parts and also leads over iron stairs. Again and again you have the opportunity to enjoy great views of the Weizklamm gorge and beyond. You continue to climb over hill and dale and are rewarded with every additional metre of altitude. On this route there is also the possibility to make a short detour to the Rablloch height. Then you cross a suspension bridge until you reach your destination on the other side of the Weizklamm gorge.
