In addition to the route leading through the Tiefenbach Gorge and back, you can also walk from Brandenberg village. Take the road next to the church leading downhill and follow the signs for Jausenstation Tiefenbachklamm where the entrance to the gorge lies. After about 1 hour's walk, you will find the first opportunity to take a break. Treat yourself to a hearty snack or find a cosy spot in the meadow near the stream and listen to the water rushing by.
The path through the gorge starts from this point. The trail leads to Kramsach passing over three impressive bridges and past a viewing platform continuing on through the forest to the gorge exit. Allow a further 1,5 hours for the hike.
Walk along the main Aschauer road towards Kramsach. After about 3 km you will reach a bridge. Cross it and then turn right towards the Mariathal Basilica - a visit is highly recommended! To the left of the bridge lies the sculpture park - a special place with interesting art installations. From the basilica walk about 1 km to the bus stop "Kramsach Abzweigung Mariatal" and from there take the bus back to Brandenberg village. From lunchtime onwards, there is a bus approx. every hour.
At the end of the gorge walk to the nearest bus stop Mariatal or the Sonnwendjochbergbahn (defunct chairlift) approx. 50 min.
