Keeping your cool in the Gaulschlucht
When the temperatures rise, there’s a very special place to escape to in Lana: the shady Gaulschlucht gorge. Here, the rocks, water and woodland make for a wonderfully refreshing break.
The Gaulschlucht is a real hidden gem for anyone looking for a quick way to cool off on warm days – without having to go on a long hike. Here, you can enjoy a wonderful combination of nature, cool water and that Italian holiday atmosphere.
Naturally air-conditioned
After just a few metres into the gorge, the air becomes noticeably cooler. The combination of rock faces, shade and the rushing waters of the Falschauer makes for a particularly pleasant walk – perfect for hot summer’s days.
Feet in ice-cold water
Time and again, little paths lead down to the water’s edge. Here you can dip your feet into the crystal-clear, ice-cold water, skip stones or simply enjoy the natural surroundings.
Perfect for the whole family
The walk is short and easy to manage. Whether you’re with a baby and a pushchair or accompanied by your four-legged friend, the Gaulschlucht is an ideal destination for a quick break in the middle of the day. Several bridges along the route add to the variety of the walk.
Enjoy Lana
Once you’ve cooled off, it’s well worth taking a stroll through the narrow streets of Lana. Charming boutiques, cafés and ice-cream parlours invite you to linger. Tip: Many shops close for lunch from around 12 noon to 3 pm – so it’s the perfect time for an aperitivo or a delicious ice cream.
