The gorge in St. Lambrecht, designated a natural monument, is only a few minutes' walk from the monastery. Formed during the Ice Age, it is now an ecological gem with unique rock formations and plant species.

A short but adventurous hike along the stream and past caves. Especially on warm summer days, you can find pleasant refreshment here. At the end, we are rewarded with a fantastic view of St. Lambrecht and the monastery.
