Demanding trail run with varied trails along the highest waterfall in Tyrol
The start is in the center of Umhausen at an altitude of 1,036m. After one kilometer on asphalt and along the Wasserwaal path, you reach the foot of the Stuibenfall, where 728 spectacular natural and steel steps, as well as a dreamlike backdrop, await. Upon arrival in Niederthai, there is some time to recover before a steady steep ascent over the Rauher Bichl towards Narrenkogel. Upon reaching Narrenkogel, runners enjoy the panorama before a tough single trail leads down again over the mountain meadows. At the valley floor towards Larstig, there is an opportunity to refresh before running from Grastal to Niederthai. Upon returning to Niederthai, you climb over the Rauher Bichl again towards Höfle and Bichl. Here, the last reserves are needed for the downhill run to Umhausen. The last section runs along the Steppsteig towards Stuibenfall to Stuiben Nannele, where the witch really picks up speed for the last 1,500m into the village center.
Author’s recommendation
At the end of the trail running route, it is recommended to try a freshly prepared burger or the homemade ice cream at the Ötztalerei.
