Along steep rock faces and shady forest sections, the trail leads you directly along the banks of the Passer River. At times, the mountain stream flows peacefully through crystal-clear pools; at others, it carves its way over powerful rocks and smoothly polished boulders. This allows you to experience the force of water up close.
Over thousands of years, the Passer River has shaped the gorge, creating impressive rock formations, pools, and whirlpools. Today, a naturally designed hiking trail makes this unique natural monument accessible and offers fascinating insights into the landscape of the Passeiertal Valley.
The trail was created as part of the environmental compensation measures carried out during the construction of the Enerpass hydroelectric power plant. Since its completion, it has connected St. Leonhard in Passeier with Moos in Passeier. As part of the water-themed trails around Moos, it vividly demonstrates how water and ice have shaped the valley. Discreet seating areas and information panels along the route invite visitors to pause and provide interesting facts about the formation of the gorge—while keeping nature at the heart of the experience.
