The Entenlochklamm , in local parlance Antenloch , is a 2.5 km long breakthrough valley in the Leukental in the Bavarian - Tyrolean border area between Kössen and Ettenhausen near Schleching .
The Großache cuts coming from the south a transverse mount bolt from steeply dipping rocks, reaches the level of the shrine Maria Klobenstein the border and from then on Tiroler Achen called.
Historically documented name
The name Antenloch , which is common in local parlance, reflects the name used in historical documents:
- Antenloch - according to Otto Stolz since the 14th century
- Anten Hole - in the Atlas Tyrolensis from 1774
- Anten Loch - in the Bavarian premiere 1808–1864
geology
On the northern edge of the Kössener basin the Großache encounters between the mountains Rudersburg ( 1434 m ) to the west and Rough Needle ( 1266 m ) to the east on several transverse and steep Asked rock bolt out Rhätkalken and rocks of the Jura . It is the southern edge of the Oberwössener Mulde , which stretches from the Rauschberg near Ruhpolding via Kössen to Niederndorf am Inn . The Großache has only been able to create a gorge-like opening into these resistant layers since the last glacial period . On the Austrian side, on the right-hand side, above the gorge, in a depression of slightly weathered layers, is the pilgrimage church of Maria Klobenstein . A huge split = geklobener landslide block is named.
One of the rock bars forms the natural border between Germany and Austria .
Expansion of the bottleneck
Several extreme floods of the Großache in the Kössen and St. Johann in Tirol area have been passed down since the 16th century (1598, 1786, 1787, 1896). The disaster of 1899 prompted the planning of a large-scale flood protection . In 1902 the Fürstete Grafschaft Tirol commissioned the regulation of the Großache .
The duck hole used to be only 3.4 m wide at the narrowest point. During heavy rainfall and melting snow , wedging tree trunks regularly led to blockages and the associated backwater and flooding in the Kössen valley basin. With the Großachen regulation from 1906 to 1922 an extension to approx. 12 m took place. The explosions for this took place in 1906/1907.
Destruction of the suspension bridge at Klobenstein in 2013
At Klobenstein there is a suspension bridge over the gorge and creates a connection to the smuggler's path on the left . During the flood of the century in June 2013 , the bridge was destroyed by driftwood .
Nature reserve
The Bavarian part of the gorge has been designated as a 68 hectare nature reserve "Breakthrough Valley of the Tiroler Achen" since 1982 .
The breakthrough valley is determined by several transverse, steep rock bars that extend into the river bed and give the gorge the character of a canyon. The near-natural mixed and snow heather - pine forests on the steep slopes of the gorge are particularly valuable . Typically, the sand and gravel banks are relocated with each flood and alluvial bodies settle on open gravel areas, seeds carried along by the water from the catchment area. Kingfishers and dippers can be seen as rare bird species .
The gorge is the easternmost location of the rare gravel saxifrage (Saxifraga mutata) in Bavaria.
River hiking trail
The gorge is classified as a 4 km long river hike in charming surroundings on calm white water and is a popular destination for paddlers and rafting companies . The place of use is the municipal building yard on the northern outskirts of Kössen, the exit takes place at the bridge of the B307 over the Großache, not far from Ettenhausen.
