The Herzogfall is not only a beautiful waterfall, located directly on the Millstatt gorge path, but also a designated natural monument.

I had a nice, spontaneous walk into the gorge. For a young person like me, the paths were easy to navigate, and sneakers were perfectly adequate. It's a very beautiful path through the gorge. With waterfalls, walkways, blackberries in the summer, and the stream, it's truly lovely.
