LOCAL HISTORY MUSEUM - LEHNER WATERFALL
Thunderously, cascades of sparkling mountain water plunge 80 meters deep into the gorge – formed millions of years ago. Pure energy, primal force that seems to jump onto you!
A well-maintained hiking trail accompanies the fall to about halfway down and offers double enjoyment: an up-close view of the roaring water masses and the spectacle of cool climbers scrambling up the rocks on the other side. Benches invite you to take a break; a spacious wooden platform at the upper end opens up great photo opportunities. The hike through the larch forest is pleasantly shady and completely safe, as a wooden railing provides support on steeper sections.
A higher point watches over the trail. At the beginning of the Way of the Cross, you will find the Zarrach chapel, accompanied by 14 small religious shrines (Marterln) leading up to the Marian Grotto.
Author’s recommendation
Enjoy the peace and watch the climbers on the via ferrata.
After the hike, why not visit the Längenfeld Local History Museum.
