The Leiterbach flows from the Leiterköpfe (three peaks above in the west) along the steep slopes down to the Möll or into the Mölltal. Shortly before the confluence it falls over rock faces into the depths. An interesting path leads from the hiking trail through the Mölltal, first to a wooden bridge over the Leiterbach below the waterfall at this point and then in serpentines on the steep slope east of the stream and the waterfall up to the Trogalm (see HL: "Challenging hiking trail"). There are exciting views of the waterfall from the side.

It is only a few minutes from the chapel to the waterfall. It is definitely worth investing the time. Especially when it is not yet so dry and large amounts of water are coming from the mountains,
