From Lofer via Mayrberg to Reith
IDEAL FOR HOT SUMMER DAYS: AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE ROUTE, LITTLE-KNOWN GORGES, WITH A GENTLE TRANSITION AT THE FOOT OF THE REITER ALPE IN BETWEEN.
The Saalach Valley is also called the “Valley of the Gorges.” Actually, it is the many tributaries that flow from the limestone mountains into the second longest river in the country, and depending on geological conditions, form the spectacular gorges and ravines before joining. During this varied circular hike, the streams from the Reiter Alpe offer impressive experiences and cause a higher water level in the Saalach. The Mayrberg Gorge and the Innersbach Gorge are not among the largest gorges in the Saalach Valley; instead, these quiet beauties remain quite peaceful. There is certainly enough to marvel at. Especially the Innersbach Gorge, more of a crevice than a gorge, really leaves one speechless. At the end of the short, well-secured crossing, a very special rock whirlpool awaits as a challenge for the brave.

Wegbeschreibung
The starting point is the Lofer Antonikapelle stop in the Maurach district. Path 53 towards Au passes under the federal road and immediately reaches the chapel built in 1755. Hiking trail 64 (Mayrberg Gorge) branches off towards the Auer Bridge downhill, then after crossing, turns left—first along the Saalach, then along the Mayr stream—straight into the Mayrberg Gorge, which is cut up to 40 m deep. At the end, at a fork, the right path leads in a few minutes up to the photogenic Auer little church. Our Route 64 to Obermayrberg, however, turns left into the cool forest. 2.5 km later, the path reaches a beautiful clearing and the highest point in Mayrberg. Passing the proud Moarhof (889 m), Route 4 (Reith, Innersbach Gorge) joins a forest road and follows it downhill for over 2 km. In Reith, the path turns right into the short but breathtakingly narrow Innersbach Gorge and, at the exit, in a few minutes leads to the left to the bridge over the Saalach with the subsequent Reith stop. Those who want to return to the starting point Antonikapelle should first turn onto the “Au, Mayrberg Gorge” path (1 hour).
