Just a few minutes from the town centre, the Gainfeldwasserfall plunges 50 metres into the valley below.
Fed by springs above a light mixed woodland, the Gainfeldwasserfall is a striking natural landmark that never fails to impress. Over centuries, the flowing water has shaped the rock face into distinctive basin-like formations.
Local tradition also associates the area around the waterfall with healing properties, particularly for respiratory conditions.
A waterfall trail with almost 400 steps leads up to the ruins of Pongowe Castle.
The protected castle ruins are well worth a visit, even if only for a short break. The view over the town and across to the Tennengebirge is simply wonderful. A gentle path then leads back through the forest to the starting point.
INFO: The waterfall trail is free to use and open from early May until around the end of November.
