Leisurely family hike through the Vordere Tormäuer to the thundering Treffling Falls.
The starting point for this leisurely hike is the Eibenboden nature park entrance. Along a forest road you quickly reach the Eibenmühle and thus the Vordere Tormäuer. The trail leads along the crystal-clear and gently flowing Erlauf through a romantic ravine forest past the Hundsbach Falls to the Treffling Falls. Before returning, we recommend hiking up the adventurous waterfall trail along the 120-metre-high waterfall and dipping your feet in the cool water.
Please inform yourself in advance about any path and road closures in the Naturpark Ötscher-Tormäuer. You can find this information at https://www.naturpark-oetscher.at/aktuelles-top-informiert-im-naturpark
