The Silberkarklamm is a romantic white-water canyon in the heart of the Dachstein massif. From the parking lot above the Lodenwalke in Ramsau Rössing, it goes along the Silberkarbach to the entrance of Silberkar (1.050 m). The trail goes through great, wild nature, past alpine plants and animals in their own Ökoraum. At the end of the gorge opens Silberkar. Formerly a cultivated pasture, now destination for young and old. For families with children the Silberkarhütte is usually the end point of a beautiful hike. For others ist the pasture the starting point for hikes, e.g. to the Guttenberghaus.

Insufficient equipment, exaggerated opinion of ones capabilities, frivolousness, poor health condition and a false evaluation of the situation can lead to a critical situation. In thunder storms: summits, crest-sites and safety rope aids are to be avoided.
