Günster waterfall hike

Scenically worth seeing hike followed by an excursion destination highlight: the Günster waterfall.
This is a wonderful hike to the Günster waterfall. With a drop of 65 meters, the waterfall is the highest in Styria. 250 to 300 liters per second rush over the two water-worn cauldrons and down the three impressive cascades.
