On the way to the Meraner Hütte you pass here... luckily not so much water came down to cross the path

Artificially created waterfall that transports water downstream over several stages and primarily serves to allow water from the higher mountain regions to drain in a controlled manner.

Just a few minutes' walk from the center of Lana, a completely different world opens up: the Gaul Gorge at the foot of the castle hill of Braunsberg Castle. Steep rocky slopes rise up on both sides, the river Falschauer babbles over the stony stream bed and even in midsummer the temperatures between the cool rock walls are pleasantly cool. Completely different types of rock come together here: between the quartz porphyry and the primary rock of the Old Gneisse, there is also a narrow strip of granite. Only a narrow strip of land between the massive rocks leads over the unspoiled mountain stream. From the Gaulwiese, a well-secured path leads over suspension bridges, past a roaring waterfall, further into the wildly romantic and increasingly narrow gorge; or up to Braunsberg Castle with a beautiful view over Lana.

The Schennaer Waalweg is a wonderful hiking trail even for inexperienced hikers. You get a little insight into the art of guiding water through the Waale.

The path leads us over two suspension bridges to the end of the part of the Gaul Gorge that is open to visitors.

This beautiful waterfall marks the end and undoubtedly the highlight of the Brandiswaalweg. In summer it offers visitors a welcome refreshment. If you want, you can even venture behind the spray of the waterfall.
