The Garnitzenklamm is a 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) long gorge near Hermagor in the Gail Valley (Gailtal) in Carinthia. There are a lot of waterfalls and awesome rock formations and you should not forget to visit this gorge when you are in Austria because it's really worth it.

Garnitzenklamm in Winter - Johann Piber

On October 31, 2022, I got up quite early and drove towards South Tyrol, Cortina d'Ampezzo and then up to Passo di Giau. It was about 10am when I arrived on the pass, parked my van and climbed up the little hill behind the small pond where I took a few photos of the surrounding mountains, but please don't ask me about their names or correct me if I have named a mountain wrong.

Sometimes the fog and high clouds cleared a bit. Maybe you can see the trail in the lower right of the image.

I hope after my latest posts from the Dolomites you don't think that I have forgotten my love for waterfalls. Of course, there will be more posts from the Dolomites in the next weeks and months, but not today because it's time for some new waterfalls 😉

After visiting the Tre Cime di Laredo in September, I have been searching for another beautiful location in the Dolomites, but because all locations in the Dolomites are beautiful, choosing the right one for me wasn't easy.
