The Klamm is situated to the southwest of Oberstdorf. From the ticket office near Gasthaus Breitachklamm, follow a well-kept path into the gorge. As short as this walk is, it provides an impressive example of how water has sculpted, and continues to sculpt, many of the more spectacular features in the Limestone Alps. At the other end go left and continue straight ahead through the second ticket office entrance – show your ticket. From here climb steps that lead up to a footbridge which crosses the gorge at a height of 80m. On the other side the track zigzags uphill for a while and then it is an easy stroll through woods and fields past Alpe Dornach (refreshments). A short distance further along the paved road below Dornach, come to a group of signs. Go right here and down what is, towards the end, a very steep track back to the car park.

To the Freibergsee (2¼hr) From the centre of Oberstdorf follow the Weststrasse to the start at the Schlechtenbrücke over the Stillach. Directly after the bridge, cross the road to Birgsau and follow a small asphalt road uphill to the left in the direction of Hotel Waldesrüh. From the hotel continue climbing at a moderate gradient through woods in the signposted direction of Freibergsee. After passing a turn-off to the Söllereck cable railway the next destination, Restaurant Bergkristall, is 30min away. From here an attractive trail runs downhill through woods on a broad gravel path (Probstweg). Pass the Naturfreundehaus (refreshments), and after roughly 20min pleasant walking you will be suddenly confronted with a view of the wooded shores of the Freibergsee. Follow the path left to reach Strandcafé Freibergsee (refreshments, boat hire, swimming), which is beautifully located directly on the lake shore.
