We were there first thing in the morning and we pretty much alone, so it was very peaceful. As we were leaving school groups started arriving, so go early to have it to yourself! Water drips off everything so take a rain jacket! There's not really room to use an umbrella. A flashlight is also useful when going through the... More

This was the most beautiful thing we saw while in Garmisch (which is saying a lot because Garmisch and the Alps are stunning). It IS a bit of a walk to get to the gorge entrance but it was a beautiful day and the walk has very nice views. The gorge itself is absolutely stunning. It's a bit colder in... More

This is a fabulous park/gorge, but there is a lot of walking on stones and narrow walkways. You will walk up, up, up, steep walkways and trails and end up at Partnachalm, a lovely restaurant atop the mountain. The view from there is absolutely lovely and the food and bier also very good. We hiked back down, but it was... More

This is a cheap, fun way to spend half a day in Garmisch. Plenty of parking at the ski jump stadium and a little bit of a walk will get you to this one of a kind walk through the Partnach Gorge. We went in the Spring/Summer timeframe and it was awesome, I've heard it's even better in the Winter... More

We loved the Partnach Gorge! Parts were very dimly lit and slippery, but everywhere was beautiful. We especially enjoyed the Beergarden at the return of the hike! More

This is a must see in the winter while in Garmisch. It is a little bit of a walk, but well worth it. I grew up in the Rocky Mountains, so I am not easily impressed, but this place is amazing. The ice formations in the winter are beautiful. There are restaurants at the beginning of the gorge, and some... More

Just back last week from visit to Patranach Gorge (21st Feb 2012). Only one word to describe my experience - WOW!!. Fabulous place to visit in Winter. Beautiful ice formations. It feels surreal. Walk through the gorge takes about 1 hr, depending upon how much you wish to stop for photoshoot and admiration of the place. End of the gorge... More

Very cool thing to do, especially at night with torches! We went in late December, but there wasn't many icicles like the brochure showed. The history alone and the gorge itself is worth seeing. But no need for guides if you ask me as it only costs like 3 Euro to walk the gorge and in a group you can't... More

I am afraid of heights. This was a scary experience for me as the path is frozen at this time of the year. You need appropriate winter foot-wear. The path is narrow, and the only thing separating you from the rushing icy river below is a metal cord, and a very short cement ledge. I would not recommend it to... More
