The Sölk stream has been used for thousands of years as a flowstone for the hard marble stone and proves the impressive power of nature. From Corsica to the water temperature. But compare for yourself! Walk through the Strub and discover the unique diversity of our nature!

A hike through the Strubschlucht gorge near Schloss Großsölk takes you to the confluence of the Großsölk and Kleinsölk streams. There you can see how the two streams have carved their way through the marble rock. You walk for approx. 1/2 hour to the gorge, where you can cross the Kleinsölk and Großsölk streams over 2 bridges, and the calm waters and tranquillity invite you to linger on the banks. This popular hike takes approx. 1 hour and requires sturdy footwear.

The Strubschlucht can be hiked from both Sölktäler valleys.

Weather changes, rapid drop in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snow fields are objective dangers and require the right behavior on the way. Hut keepers are experienced mountain connoisseurs, they can give good tips on the weather and the course of the trail. Lack of equipment, overestimation of one's own abilities, carelessness, poor physical condition and a wrong assessment can lead to critical situations. During thunderstorms: avoid peaks, ridges and rope belays at all costs.

GPS data and orientation aids: Available GPS data - as well as hiking maps - are only an orientation aid, since they can never represent an exact image or the richness of detail of a path in reality. Especially in the case of danger spots, it must therefore always be decided in the end on the basis of the conditions on site whether and how the further course of the path looks like.

In case of emergency, please dial the following emergency numbers:
No. 140 - for alpine emergencies - Austria-wide
No. 112 - Euro emergency call GSM emergency call service

Take rainproof and warm clothes and enough water, possibly also a snack, wear shoes with non-slip profile soles. A first aid kit should also be in your backpack.
