The Riesach Falls are truly impressive waterfalls in the Schladming Tauern mountain range, not far from Schladming. The two most famous waterfalls there are the Little and the Big Riesach Falls, with the Big one dropping an impressive height of about 70 meters. A truly impressive natural spectacle! The falls are part of the "Wild Waters" theme trail and were rightfully 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 Big and Little Riesach Waterfalls, located in the Höllschlucht Gorge. The gorge begins at an elevation of 1,079 meters near the Untere Gfölleralm or the Almgasthaus Riesachfall and ends at an elevation of 1,338 meters near the Riesachsee or the Obere Gfölleralm. The water for these impressive waterfalls comes from the approximately 7 km long Riesachbach stream, which joins the Steinriesenbach stream directly after the gorge and then flows through the entire Untertal valley as the Untertalbach stream before finally flowing into the Enns River.

The falls up to the Grosser Riesachfall are accessible via the Riesachfallsteig trail. And that's not all! In 2006, the area between the Grosser Riesachfall waterfall and the upper end of the gorge was also opened to tourists. An approximately one-kilometer-long alpine trail called "Alpinsteig Höll" or "Alpinsteig durch die Höll" (Alpine Trail through the Höll) was created there, featuring a 50-meter-long suspension bridge as a special attraction. A true adventure!
