Description

From the municipal office in Unken, the hike leads past the church along the Gsengsteig trail to the vicinity of the old customs office. Past the sewage treatment plant and the Köstlerhof farm, we arrive at the Haiderhof farm (closed MO-MI) and the Aschauerklamm gorge. We hike through the wildly romantic gorge and along the Innersbach stream with a beautiful view of the Loferer Steinberge mountains further into the Unken district of Reith. Through the Innersbachklamm gorge we reach the Saalach and hike downstream on the Gaissteig trail and over the "Schwerm" footbridge. The hike leads back past the Landhotel Schütterbad and the old football pitch to the centre of Unken.
