Stuiben Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The best way is the way through the Stuibenfälle on a hot summer day. Then it's worth the jump in the cool wet. But do not forget the shoes. The sharp stones in the streambed hurt otherwise ;-)

It's somehow unbelievable that a castle stands here, but when you consider that a road has existed here for over 2,000 years.

Coming from the south, the greatest effort begins here. The castle itself is definitely worth seeing.

Fantastic landscape! Also suitable for families with children, but without a stroller.

Beautiful circular route along the Stuiben Falls to the Plansee. I would recommend starting the circular route at the waterfalls. You have to climb about 140 meters! The path goes along the waterfalls up to the viewing point. It then continues up to the Plansee dam, and from there back on the other side of the mountain. At the end when you descend the mountain there are several steps. Beautiful tour for everyone!
