Description

Starting from the starting point at the valley station, walk in the direction of the Stampfangerkapelle chapel and at the first bridge turn right to the subway. Then turn right onto the hiking trail and walk along the edge of the forest until just before the Oberhausberg snack station. Then slightly downhill for about 500 m, following the small path on the left, you reach the waterfall after a few minutes. From here, a steep mountain path section (absolutely free of giddiness and good shoes) to the Hölzlalm (unmanaged). Then an easy family trail to Hochsöll to the Hexenwasser. Then either on foot via the toboggan run or by gondola down to the valley.
