Imst

Imst was chosen as a stopping point on our way from Salzburg to Oberstdorf (southern Germany). We planned just an overnight as the second leg of this journey looks quite difficult through the mountain passes.

We found however that this little town has some lovely walks and extended our stay. The walk we chose was called Rosengartenschlucht and turned out to be absolutely spectacular but quite a challenge. We climbed up the gorge, crossing back and forth over the raging torrent using small bridges. The hike up took about 2 hours arriving eventually at the ski fields where we indulged in apple struddle and apricot cake at the local restaurant. The walk down thankfully took an easier route through the forests. We arrived back at the camp site shattered but think this walk will be remembered a one of the best this trip.
