Lammerklamm - A walk to remember!

We left Gosau in the morning for our next destination – the pretty musical city of Salzburg. We decided not to take the highway, but rather a route that passed through mountains and small villages - green meadows, small cottages with smoke billowing out of chimneys, mountains covered with lush green trees – it was magical! As we were moving, we saw some 4-5 cars parked in an area; we decided to stop and check-out what it was – we were at Lammerklamm.

We decided to go and explore it – and thank god we did! It was a beautiful gorge - an impressive spectacle of light, thundering waters, and shade; I had never seen something like this before. The entire klamm was about 2 kms long. As we were about to start our journey, it started drizzling; but we decided to go ahead, descending into the gorge over secured walk ways and stairs hugging the cliff. The walk along this klamm put a smile to our faces, refreshed us, sound of the water gushing soothed our soul and senses. As if this were not enough, the winds blowing - strong but not the least bit ill intentioned, rather coltish and carefree - ensured that the tiny droplets of water pouring around sprayed on our faces; wow what a feeling it was – inexplicable! It made this walk all the more amazing!

We finished this “walk” on the marked paths but did not stop here – there was a small wooden bridge that took us to the other side of the klamm- we continued ahead, passing some cafes and cottages. As we moved further, we reached a narrow path lined with trees on both sides, we could see the mountains at a distance covered with fog, the sky was cloudy with rains pouring - the confluence of all this resulted in a sight that was spectacular; I was dazed! We clicked as many pictures as we could, knowing seemingly well that we will not be able to capture what we were witnessing! It was time for us to go back now and resume our travel to Salzburg.
