Alploch Gorge
The Alplochschlucht (often abbreviated as Alploch called) is a natural gorge in the field of Austrian city of Dornbirn in Vorarlberg . It was formed by a mountain breakthrough of the Dornbirner Ach and is still traversed by this. The gorge is passable on a wooden walkway for pedestrians.
The Ebensand power plant with the Staufensee reservoir is located at the mouth of the Alploch Gorge . Then the Dornbirner Ach flows again through a striking gorge, the Rappenloch Gorge . The two gorges are often associated with each other, as both are accessible to tourists and walkable and are in close proximity to each other, although the Rappenloch Gorge is the better known of both gorges.
About half an hour's walk away is another dry gorge, the Kirchle .
