Günster waterfall hike

Be very close to the highest waterfall in Styria!
With a drop of 65 meters, the waterfall is the highest in Styria. 250-300 liters per second rush over the two water-worn cauldrons and down the three impressive cascades. Since 1906, the entire waterfall has also been accessible via paths and stairs. This well-developed path, secured by railings, leads to the highest point of the waterfall. On the numerous bridges you always have a fascinating view of the foaming power of the water. A fabulous excursion for young and old!
