Places where you can eat and drink:
Obervellach village
Route:
1. from Obervellach village (Seilbahnplatz), take a bus that goes to Mallnitz, get off at 'Rabisch' stop
2. from the bus stop, go right, cross the bridg, then turn right to the entrance of Rabischschlucht
3. follow the marked trail
4. follow the signs towards Groppensteinschlucht
5. walk out to the main road, then turn left into the village and walk back to the bust stop
You can park your car at the bus stop, or you can drive to the exit of Groppensteinschlucht and park there.
I looked all over the internet to find if any of the gorges (Schluchts) are one-way, but found no information about that. In fact, on the Nationalpark Hohe Tauern website, they indicate that walking time downhill takes about 3 hours, uphill about 4 hours. So we figured it is OK to walk downhill.
However, at the upper entrance of Groppensteinschlucht, there were signs: please do not walk downhill in the gorge. Since we were already there, we did not care of the signs, and there were not so many people anyway (we met only 1 group of about 10 people).
When there are more people it can be very disturbing to walk the opposite way, because in some places the path is very narrow. So if you want to be totally 'legal', do this tour the other way around, from Obervellach uphill - then you can take the bus down or simply walk back along the road or other trails.
