Discover the Stuibenfall.
On this route you will learn how water has shaped life and the landscape in Umhausen over the centuries and what great influence it still has. Fascinating insights into the diverse uses of water await you, from historical watering systems to naturally grown bridges
With the fascinating natural spectacle always in view, you ascend on the right side of the cascading waters via roughly 700 steps to the source of the Stuibenfall. Along the way, you pass scenic viewing platforms as well as the 80-meter-long suspension bridge. At the end of the Discovery Trail, you can either return the same way, or follow the old Niederthai road back to Umhausen. Alternatively, you can continue on to Niederthai and return to Umhausen from there by public transport.
