Would you like an example?
The “Wild Water” theme trail is one of the most extraordinary hiking trails in all of Austria. From calm and crystal clear to thunderously foaming, the wet element can be felt in all its facets over 14 kilometers. From Schladming all the way up into the Rohrmooser Untertal at 2600 m above sea level, the waterfalls cascade into the valley. This natural spectacle begins in the Talbachklamm. Accompany the Talbach on its adventurous path downhill - in several stages or in one piece (walking time approx. 6 hours). Refreshing cooling included. For the bravest, we recommend the alpine trail “through the Höll” along the impressive Riesach waterfall. Suspension bridge, numerous steps and viewing platform are not for the faint of heart! On this tour you can stop by Moissi and Fanni on the Kaltenbachalm not missing.
