Description

The Myrafalls were made accessible in 1885 by the Austrian Alpine Club and have since been maintained by the Pernitz Muggendorf section.

Since autumn 2007, a lot has changed along the Myrafalls and around the Hausstein.
11 information panels accompany you along this impressive landscape. Learn how the power of water has been used since 1783 as a driving force for wood processing or electricity generation. The residents of the valley landscape also used the water wheels for grinding barley, wheat, and oats.
Take a walk in nature, enjoy the wonderful view from the Hausstein, and then relax at one of our friendly hosts, for example in the Myrastub'n, at the Karnerwirt, or in the mountain inn Mamauwiese.
Our little guests will enjoy a climbing paradise and a lovingly designed water playground;
Raft adventure ride included at the Myrateich.

(Admission: adults €5,--, children 6-14 years €1.50).
