The guided route starts directly at the parking lot of the Sonnwendjochbahn at Sport Ossi. From there, you take the free Regiobus to the entrance of the Tiefenbachklamm, the start of our hike. Only limited parking is available directly at the gorge entrance.

This hike leads along the well-secured Triftsteig through the impressive Tiefenbachklamm in Brandenberg. You will learn impressive information about the historic timber rafting from guide Ossi and also get insights into the geology. You cross the Brandenberger Ache three times during this hike until you reach the Tiefenbachklamm snack station after about 1.5 hours. You can stop for refreshments there or continue uphill to the village center of Brandenberg. There are options to eat in the village at Ascherwirt or Neuwirt according to your mood. The bus takes you back to Kramsach (Mariathal junction). From there, a short walk back to the starting point.
