The last stretch of the path to the reservoir is a bit slippery when wet, but still manageable.

In addition to the 96 numbered steps, there are another 20-30 before and after. But for those who've made it to the waterfall, the steps are no problem.

Hiking along the Eifersbach stream in St. Johann feels like a little break from everyday life. The steady rush of the clear water accompanies you like a soothing carpet of sound, while the fresh, cool air from the waterfall invigorates the senses. The path winds through dense forest, with repeated glimpses of the roaring water cascading over rocks. It's a soothing blend of natural power and tranquility – a true experience for body and soul.
