    After a short, easy ascent you reach the waterfall. The roar of the water is breathtaking.

      Very impressive and well worth the alpine climb to the lake.

        The Riesach Falls are truly impressive waterfalls in the Schladming Tauern, not far from Schladming. The two most famous waterfalls there are the Small and Large Riesach Falls, with the Large one having an impressive drop of around 70 meters. A truly impressive natural spectacle! The falls are part of the "Wild Waters" theme trail and were rightly declared a natural monument in 2012. The entire area is simply breathtaking and is definitely one of the natural treasures of this region.

        The Riesach Falls consist of the Large and Small Riesach Waterfalls, which are located in the Höllschlucht Gorge. The gorge begins at an altitude of 1079 meters near the Untere Gfölleralm or the Almgasthaus Riesachfall and ends at an altitude of 1338 meters in the area of the Riesachsee or the Obere Gfölleralm. The water for these impressive waterfalls comes from the approximately 7 km long Riesachbach, which joins the Steinriesenbach directly after the gorge and then flows through the entire Untertal as the Untertalbach before finally flowing into the Enns.

        The falls up to the Grosser Riesachfall are accessible via the Riesachfallsteig. And that's not all! In 2006, the area between the Grosser Riesachwasserfall and the upper end of the gorge was also opened up to tourists. An alpine trail about one kilometer long called "Alpinsteig Höll" or "Alpinsteig durch die Höll" was created there, which offers a 50 meter long suspension bridge as a special attraction. A real adventure!
