Traunfall Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

About 200 meters wide and 12 meters deep, this waterfall is quite impressive - even if it is by no means natural in this form. At least, since about the 16th century, when the natural waterfall here was made "mobile". Today runs here an underground watercourse, with which the hydroelectric power station Traunfall is operated. It is and always will be impressive.

Following a design by the Ebebsee sculptor Johann Kienesberger, Prizovsky created a bronze sculpture "Flößermadonna" (Raftsman Madonna).
This work of art was erected in 1984 on a stone base on the right bank of the Traun, in the area of the original Traun crossing, where the footbridge now leads across the Traun.
This sculpture was stolen in 2012, and in 2019 it was replaced by a plastic reproduction and inaugurated.

View of Traunfall from the Bridge

Highlight • Waterfall

The wooden bridge (Der Steg) was built in 2000 by the municipalities of Roitham and Desselbrunn on the foundations of the old bridge and renewed in 2018.
Until the construction of the large arched bridge at the current location in 1925, the "Steg" was the only traffic connection between the two communities.

Riverside Rest Area on the Traun

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice rest area right on the Traun. Large table and a small bankerl on the tree right next to the water. Very idyllic

Nikolaus Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

A chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas was built for the raftsmen on the island at the Traunfall waterfall. A chapel was first mentioned in 1439 and later rebuilt. Today, it is one of the last remaining original structures of the salt raftsmen.

Inscription:

"The chapel at the falls was first recorded in 1439. In 1598, this gem was washed away by floodwaters and only rebuilt 100 years later in its Baroque form, which has been preserved to this day.

The salt boatmen dedicated this small house of worship to their patron saint for safe passage through the "Wild Falls." For centuries, the parish priest of Roitham celebrated a weekly mass in this chapel. This mass was endowed by the type-makers of Gmunden.

The chapel is now one of the last remaining buildings at the Traunfall from the time of salt shipping and is a listed historical monument.

It is owned by Energie AG Oberösterreich."
