Daberklamm, also known as Dabaklamm, is a captivating gorge located in the Dorfer Valley near Kals am Grossglockner in Tyrol, Austria. This impressive rocky gorge separates the Granatspitz Group from the Glockner Group and marks the beginning of the Dorfertal, considered the birthplace of the Hohe Tauern National Park.The gorge was formed by glacial streams over thousands of years, carving a deep channel through relatively soft stone layers. Today, it's a haven for diverse flora and fauna, including rare bird species and a variety of butterflies.Visitors can explore the Daberklamm via well-maintained trails that lead to stunning viewpoints. 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. It was broadened around 1950 during the planning of a large power plant in Dorfertal.
