Leutasch Gorge, also known as the Leutascher Geisterklamm, is a natural wonder located in the Austrian state of Tyrol. The gorge is located near the town of Mittenwald, Germany, and is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts.

The Leutasch Gorge was formed over millions of years by the force of the Leutascher Ache river as it carved its way through the surrounding mountains. The gorge is known for its dramatic rock formations, waterfalls, and crystal-clear waters, which are a vibrant blue-green color. The narrow gorge is around 1.5 kilometers long and is only accessible by foot.

Visitors to the gorge can explore the walking paths and bridges that crisscross the river, providing incredible views of the surrounding cliffs and rock formations. The trail is relatively easy, and visitors of all ages and fitness levels can enjoy the beauty of the gorge. Along the way, there are several scenic viewpoints, rest areas, and picnic spots where visitors can take a break and enjoy the stunning natural scenery.

The Leutasch Gorge is open to visitors from May to October, and there is a small admission fee. It is recommended to wear sturdy shoes, as the trails can be rocky and slippery in places. There are also guided tours available, which provide a more in-depth look at the history and geology of the gorge.
