Eduard-Angererweg to its end. Along the forest your reach the forest road to Grander
Schupf. After a few meters turn left, a forest trail gets you down to Theresien Chapel.

gently all the way to the waterfall. The trail is close enough to the fall that you can feel
the spray on your cheeks. Past the waterfall there are several steps up to a trail that

junction, make a right and walk to Dechantalm. Take a break and enjoy the marvelous
