Hiking by the water

Mountain lakes, bathing waters, reservoirs and ponds with an almost Nordic feel. These are joined by the natural lake Lunzer See and the Erlaufsee with its turquoise-green colour. Hiking along the shores, you can feel nature and experience fresh air, wide reflections and the power that makes lakes so unique.

Deep cuts in the limestone or granite, rushing streams, narrow rock faces and paths that lead over bridges and footbridges into this natural wonder. The largest of these, the Ysper Gorge, was used for timber drifting - an indication of how powerful and influential water has been for centuries.

From the Myrabach stream via old mill paths to the highest waterfall in the country, the Treffling Falls: the water tumbles down steep rock faces and collects in cascades. Many waterfalls change their appearance throughout the year - especially in spring, when melt and spring water increase their power.
