Gumping can be explored via a range of trail and nature destinations. One route crosses the Saalach on the Scheffsnother Bridge; another leads into the district via the Moosbach footbridge. Nearby in the municipality are a gorge, a cave and a themed hiking trail; the surrounding area also has a gorge with waterfalls and a return route through the Gumpinger Moos. When planning, you can distinguish these destinations by trail type, stated length and destination.
Trails to Gumping and back to Lofer
The Scheffsnoth – Rafting Center – Gumping trail crosses the Saalach on the Scheffsnother Bridge. On this route, a meadow path leads to Gumping between the rafting center and the heating plant. The Kreuzfeld – Moosbach footbridge – Gumping trail reaches the district of Gumping along a quiet path after crossing the Moosbach. The two trail descriptions therefore differ in their crossings: one crosses the Saalach on a bridge, while the other crosses the Moosbach and then continues along a quiet path.
A walking and cycling path leads via Gumping and Kreuzfeld back to Lofer. So, in addition to trails leading to Gumping, there is also a described return route to Lofer and an option for pedestrians and cyclists.
Gorge, Cave and Adventure Trail
The Vorderkaser Gorge is near Gumping in the municipality, around 400 m long and up to 80 m deep. The Lamprecht Cave is also nearby. In the visitor area, safe paths, stairs and footbridges lead about 600 m into the cave. Along the way, you reach several tunnels and a large chamber; the elevation difference is 70 m. The figures describe different measurements: for the gorge, length and depth; for the cave, the distance into the mountain and the elevation difference.
The Stone Age Adventure Trail is a hiking trail about 2 km long with six play stations. It therefore offers a different kind of route from the trail through the cave’s visitor area or the spatial dimensions described for the gorge. When choosing, you can distinguish between a themed trail with stations and two nature destinations, each with its own spatial characteristics.
