The path includes tunnels and an observation deck, offering views of the Kalserbach brook. The Dorfer Valley, beyond the gorge, opens up into alpine meadows, with informational boards detailing the region's history and culture.The first path through the Daberklamm was constructed between 1911 and 1913.
