Summary:
The Dorferbach is a stream that can only be walked from the exit of October to the beginning of November. It is fed by a glacier and has too much water in summer to be passable. Only in October/November, when the temperature at night at 2000m is at or below 0°, the Dorferbach becomes passable. Accordingly, you should be equipped for the walk! The gorge has several gorges, which are interrupted by longer walking passages in the streambed. He impresses especially geologically, because he has "eaten" through beautifully grained serpentine, partly interspersed with beautiful quartz veins. It is a gorgeous glacial canyon that is highly impressive geologically. Beautiful quartz vein eaten through by the stream. Several rock gates/rock bridges. Unique canyon section under the landslide through below the Gumpachkreuz. Can only be done when it is freezing above 2000m at night, otherwise impassable due to high water level, appropriate equipment and possibly warming drinks necessary. Not for people who can not deal with cold, narrowness and darkness. South exposure, thus in sunshine even in late autumn good lighting conditions
