The Vorderkaser gorge in St. Martin in Lofer is worth visiting. The interesting and beautiful path leads you along 400 meters over 375 steps. On your way to the gorge you will walk past the natural bathing pools and the barbecue area where you can enjoy the lovely summertime in Lofer.

The Lamprecht's cave

The so called “show-cave” takes you 700 meters deep into the cave and gives a fascinating view of the well-lit cave. Especially on rainy days this is an interesting tour for you and your family.
