If you are good on foot, you should take the old path (old Tauernweg) on the other side to get to the top. But is sometimes very steep and exhausting.

The way to the right of the waterfall can be forgotten below, totally overrun. Much nicer is down this combination old Tauernweg left of the waterfall. A nice quiet path.
