Description

The Rosengartenschlucht is located on the edge of the town of Imst. The gorge measures 1.5 kilometres in length and is traversed by the rushing Schinderbach river starting at the Blue Grotto. By erosion from the river the steep mountain canyon is formed. This gives the perfect habitat for Puzgavac.
