Culture and sights

Entrance to the Steinwandklamm

• Steinwandklamm : In 1884 the gorge ( location ) was made accessible to visitors and opened on June 8th of the same year with the participation of more than 600 participants from Vienna. The Austrian Tourist Club (Ö.TK) Triestingtal built a via ferrata in 1927. The sentence “We hike in the emperor's footsteps” arose from the fact that Emperor Franz Joseph was probably the most famous hiker in the gorge. It was pretty much destroyed in WWI and WWII . Today secured paths and bridges lead to the Türkenloch ; The inhabitants of the Triesting Valley are said to have hidden there during the second Turkish siege , but after the discovery by the Turks they were all killed by rising smoke.
