The Partnach Gorge in Garmisch-Partenkirchen has reopened.

The danger of ice breaks has been averted.

It was locked for two weeks for security reasons.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen - In Garmisch-Partenkirchen, nature-loving hikers can finally let themselves be impressed again by the massive rock faces and the power of the water in the Partnach Gorge.

The tourist magnet has been open to visitors again since January 11th.

In the past two weeks, the popular destination was closed - the risk of an ice break was too great.

"When it thaws, it becomes too dangerous in the gorge," the press office of the market town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen said when asked.

The safety of the visitors would come first.

Now the danger is over.

"The icicles freeze properly on the rocks again," jokes Silvia Buyer-Schropp, the market community's press spokeswoman.

She expects a big rush.

The Partnach Gorge is a hotspot in the region and popular with hikers in every season.

The market town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen announces the good news on its Facebook page.

"Despite the thaw, there are still many ice sculptures to marvel at, and the path from the south portal to Vordergraseck has also been cleared and scattered." There is great enthusiasm in the social network.

“A real experience, especially in winter,” comments one user.
