It's a very beautiful place to relax. Benches invite you to take a break and observe this natural spectacle. No matter the weather, the streams always contain water. We always visited the streams in the morning or late afternoon, as otherwise tour groups would also be visiting this place and it might be a bit more crowded.

... the "Triefen" near "Hinterthal" in the Hochkönig region.
- They were declared a natural monument in 2001

- The name "Triefen" refers to the rain-like curtains of drops
- Information board available (somewhat weathered)
- The Triefen is a water feature over an impermeable rock layer located about 2-3 meters above the "Urslau" River, creating a rain-like curtain of drops approximately 100 meters wide
- The special scientific significance lies in the horizontal course of the spring, which causes the water curtain over the hard conglomerate body
- In addition, the impressive spring tuff-like moss flora formed by numerous moss species, ferns, and other plant species

Note 2025
- The "former" circular trail (left and right of the "Urslau") no longer exists
- From "Hinterthal" the outward and return journey is the same
