Rappenlochschlucht
Dornbirn, Vorarlberg
Canon EOS 1, Spur DSX
Lithprint auf Fomabrom 123
SE5 1+8, +3 f-stops, 7:30 min
Selentonung MT1, 1+9, 1 min
The Rappenloch Gorge was one of the most beautiful gorges I know. It could be climbed through very low-lying areas, partly also through a tunnel. Sadly, in May 2011 there was a dramatic rockfall, huge masses of boulders buried the gorge and tunnel. The image of the Rappenloch Gorge has changed fundamentally as a result. A walkway was built, it passes 60 meters above the rockslide and so for me the terrific Rappenlochschlucht is history, the ascent is now safe, but not very attractive. I have visited it only once since then and that was certainly the last time.
