The Breitachklamm (Breitach gorge) is located at the end of the Kleinwalsertal (Small Walser Valley). The gorge is about 2.5km long and up to 150m deep, but often only a few meters wide. The gorge was developed at the beginning of the 20th century. It was an idea of the village priest of Tiefenbach Johannes Schiebel who hoped to draw tourist income to the small and poor village. This idea was very successful and today the gorge is one of the favourite day trip destinations in the Allgäu.
The biggest desaster happened only a few years ago.
