After a short distance, the trail leads to the smaller Raufenfall Waterfall and crystal clear patholes. Mother Nature demonstrates her concentrated power and beauty at the Groppenstein Waterfall. An elaborated wood and stell construction is mounted directly to steep rock faces and guarantees a pleasant ascent - dizzy views down included. Viewing platform Zechnerfall Waterfall. Enjoy the clear, enriched air near the waterfalls.
