Hiking, relaxing and enjoying

After the heavy rain things look different

From the gorge you can take a lovely hike to the cable car. You can either hike back or take the shuttle bus back to the starting point.

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,

It is not a waterfall. It is the overflow of the Klammsee. A dam wall for the power plant group's own use plant in Kaprun. Beautifully embedded at the end of the gorge.

Experience the impressive effect of the torrents: from round washouts to majestic waterfalls - a landscape shaped by the power of water. In the Hohe Tauern, torrents make their way through hard rock, forming round washouts, scours and whirlpools as well as impressive waterfalls. The gorge features arise as long as the steep side slopes remain stable. The rocks, mainly from the Wildschönau slate, are almost 500 million years old and tectonically assigned to the Upper Eastern Alpine. However, the soft shales are susceptible to weathering, favoring V-shaped valleys and rounded peaks. Slate formations do not allow deep gorges to form, which is why side slopes often slide. Disasters such as mudflows and floods force the stream to be blocked and retention barriers to be built to protect the towns. The forest also plays a crucial role in protecting against erosion. Maple-ash forests or gray alder slope forests stabilize the slopes and minimize the risk of mudslides and landslides. Protective measures such as avoiding clear-cutting and promoting natural forest communities are crucial for the preservation and stability of the mountain landscape.

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. This 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 or vice versa. There are exciting views of the waterfall from the side. Compare this with HL. "Great waterfall" further down the wooden bridge!
