The Partnach Gorge with children
What it costs for a family
The published tariff has two rates that matter to families: about ten euros for an adult and about five euros for anyone aged 6 to 17. There is no family ticket. The published tariff does not list a price for children under six. The full list, including the group rate for 15 or more, is on the tickets page.
The walk is the plan
Four and a half kilometres in total, with the gorge in the middle of it. With small children that is the whole afternoon, and it is worth treating the walk up the valley as part of the outing rather than an obstacle before it. One reviewer on the canyon and waterfall day trip called it “the most beautiful day of my daughter’s vacation… These gorges with a waterfall”, which is roughly how it goes when the timing is right.
Published sources do not say whether the path works with a pushchair. Ask the operator, and read how difficult it is for what is actually on record.
The operator warns that “Kurzfristige Schließungen sind aus Sicherheitsgründen manchmal unumgänglich” — short-notice closures for safety are sometimes unavoidable. Rockfall and high water are the reasons a gorge shuts, and neither gives notice. Check partnachklamm.de the morning you travel, and have a second plan for the day.
