When I saw them, I immediately thought of Jacob's Ladder

A bike detour to the Golling Waterfall is particularly worthwhile for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. Just a few kilometers from the Tauern Cycle Path, a short climb from the center of Golling an der Salzach leads through an idyllic forest landscape directly to the entrance of the waterfall. The Golling Waterfall is one of Salzburg's most impressive natural monuments: The water plunges about 75 meters down over two waterfalls, providing pleasant refreshment on hot days. The path to the edge of the waterfall is well-maintained but can be covered on foot – bikes can be parked at the entrance. This detour offers a pleasant change from the river landscape and can be easily combined with a short stay in the town of Golling, perhaps for a refreshment stop or a visit to the nearby Bluntau Valley. Ideal for a varied bike tour with a nature experience.

There are a lot of stairs leading up to the waterfall but it is worth it

Very beautiful, especially in winter, although a bit slippery. But a wonderful little spot.
