The Raabklamm, the longest gorge in Austria, is a beautiful water hiking trail. But the Raabklamm is also a nature reserve with a great wealth of species.
The starting & ending point of the circular hiking trail is the idyllic toen of Arzberg, which has a long mining tradition. Today it is known for its excursion destinations: the show mine in the old silver tunnel, the Almenland cheese tunnel and last but not least the Raab Gorge. The Raab rises in the middle of the nature park, at the foot of the Osser, flows 250 km through eastern Styria and Hungary until it flows into the Danube at Györ. Between Arzberg & Mortantsch it forms the "Great Raab Gorge", which is difficult to access and has therefore remained a true natural paradise.
The path through the Raabklamm is suitable for the whole family: without any major ascents, the path leads directly along the Raab most of the time via paths and bridges. The river meadows alternate with rock faces and with a bit of luck you can see kingfishers, black storks and hoopoes. On hot summer days, the gravel banks are a popular place for a small picnic - including cooling off in the fresh, clear Raab water!
