Alpaca Hike around the Hundsbichl Alm
Cultural treasure Teufelsgasse – the rock paintings in Kirchdorf in Tirol with Dr. Hubert Ilsinger and Markus Nothegger (German only)
Myths and legends gave the 3.4 km long path, lying between broken limestone rocks, its name. It leads between the slopes of the rugged rock walls, widens at some points into pathway passages, and mainly runs at angles in an east-west direction.
Between the rocky gorges, dozens of rock painting sites could be identified within six passages covering about 400 m2 of rock surfaces. The approximately 1300 individual petroglyphs represent the highest number of rock paintings in Tyrol. The dating, the stories they tell us, but especially the beauty of how writings become images, make this cultural treasure a unique experience. Let’s discover the rock paintings together!
From the Teufelsgasse hiking parking lot or from the Okto hiking bus stop Teufelsgasse/Neustadl in Gasteig/Kirchdorf (Okto Hiking Bus Timetable), you can walk independently for about 60 minutes to Teufelsgasse. There, Dr. Hubert Ilsinger and Markus Nothegger will be waiting to provide you with extensive and extremely exciting insights into the rock carvings in Teufelsgasse.
