The Notgasse is a historic mule track in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Dachstein Plateau and has medieval rock carvings.

The Notgasse at the foot of the Stoderzinken represents a path connection from Gröbming to the higher mountain pastures. The path through a canyon, which is only accessible to pedestrians, was used by alpine people, mule pickers and charcoal burning workers. The impressive gorge with rock walls up to 60 meters high and the historical rock carvings offer the visitor an aura of mystery and mystique.

The tourist association's weekly program includes guided hikes through the Notgasse in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
