Valley of Waterfalls

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

Coming from the Stappitzer See in the direction of the Schwussnerhütte, most of the waterfalls can be observed on the left - at one point you can even see 5 waterfalls cascading down at the same time.

Raineralm Snack Station

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In a rustic ambience, the snack station serves correctly rolled Carinthian noodles, Brettljause, Kaiserschmarren and more. It's definitely worth a stop!

There is a large car park at Seebachtal - free of charge.

The Ankogelbahn to Hannoverhaus also starts here.

The Seebachtal is easy to walk through, cows and horses roam around here, so read the signs and it's best to stick to them 😜.
