Gressenstein Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

You can hear the water rushing down from afar. Always nice to look at, such a waterfall, right? Be careful when it rains, it can get slippery on the roots.

Devil's Rock of Gressenstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

In addition to the magnificent bench with a view, a huge boulder (Glockhausstein), broken into several parts, dominates here, which, according to legend, once transported the devil from Gressenstein back to hell.

Gressensteinalm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Gressensteinalm is a quaint, beautiful hut.
For outdoor activists, drinks are cooled in a drinking trough with fresh mountain water.
Everything is based on trust, a cash register is attached to the wall outside.
Great gesture 🤟
