Lammerklamm Scheffau

Churning water, steep rock faces, deep clefts and surprising views: that is the Lammerklamm in Scheffau. Secured paths and walkways lead the whole family safely through the gorge in the heart of the Tennengau.

Even before the ice age the Lammer wore a narrow notch valley into the mountain. When the glaciers melted thousands of years ago, enormous masses of water flowed into the valley and carried the rock away bit by bit. This is how the Lammerklamm came about. The gorge is a telling example of the eroding power of water.

Since 1884 the Lammeröfen have also been accessible to visitors. From the starting point in Oberscheffau, secured walkways run along the rock faces and over the churning water, so that young and old can get through safely. Shortly after the entrance you already reach the section called the Dunkle Klamm, the finest part of the Lammerklamm.
