Interesting biotope, well maintained

An absolute highlight. Start at the parking lot in Schön

Make sure you're allowed to enter the moor! In winter, it's a wildlife sanctuary :)

Winter activities at the Stuibenfall Even in winter, the Stuibenfall shapes the landscape of Umhausen and Niederthai. Embedded in the snowy landscape, Tyrol's largest waterfall seems almost mystical in the cold season. Curious? Hike to see the view of the Stuibenfall during the day or in the evening with lighting.

After a rockslide with fatal consequences, the original hiking route had to be closed to the public. After two years of construction, a steel structure with 728 steps and an 80-meter-long suspension bridge now leads to the viewing platforms and to Niederthai. The official opening took place on May 21, 2016. At least the upper information board still showed the old route in summer 2017 (as shown here).

The waterfall is well developed as a tourist attraction with hiking trails and restaurants, and since 2007 there has also been a suspension bridge at the top and five viewing platforms spread out. Some of the platforms are in such exposed places that the "Stuiben" (dusting) can be experienced directly. Since 2008 there has also been a 450-meter-long, family-friendly via ferrata that crosses the waterfall in the last section. During the summer months the waterfall is illuminated one evening a week.

When the mountain massif near Köfels collapsed around 7000 BC, the present-day Tauferberg was formed on the opposite side. This dammed the Horlachbach and a large lake was formed. The water ate away at the rock from which the current Stuibenfall falls; a small remnant of the eroded massif has been preserved as a natural bridge. The remains of the lake can also still be seen as shore terraces in Niederthai.
