Along the Eifersbach

Highlight • River

Still powerfully thundering above, the Eifersbach ripples gently down here below. Its water is crystal clear and the walker a welcome companion.

The Eifersbach waterfall can only be reached via the hiking trail. It is located in the middle of the forest and the water falls from an impressive height. You can take beautiful photos from the bridge.

July 17, 2022,St. Johann, Eifersbacher Wasserfall über Grander Schupf und Hornblicksee 🇦🇹

I'm slowly starting to work through the tours of our vacation in the Kitzbühel Alps. The first tour to the Eifersbacher waterfall and the Hornblicksee was actually intended as a warm-up. But the almost 300 meters in altitude almost brought me to my physical limits as a knee-stricken "flat hiker" 😩.
The circular tour started at the Hotel Kaiserfels in …

Despite the miserable weather, it was a top tour, best not with a stroller or similar, the paths are sometimes very selective

A wonderful hike from St. Johann up to the Eifersbacher waterfall and on to the Hornblicksee. Equally fascinating all-round views of the Wilder Koasa and the Steinplatte or the Kitzbühler Horn. The Jakobskreuz and the Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge are also present. The descent takes you to the Grander Schupf. A beautiful, charming restaurant with outdoor seating.

Beautiful circuit with great forest paths. Better to go clockwise though, so you can arrive with a view of the waterfall and walk up the (wet) stairs!

After the family had fully occupied one car, I did not want to drive behind alone as a senior SUV driver, particularly observed by local newspaper reporters, but decided to hike directly from the holiday accommodation to the Eifersbacher waterfalls. It was an easy hike to the bottom of the falls. The ascent at the waterfall is very strenuous. Nevertheless, …

At this special spot, raging masses of water shoot 25 meters into the depths. After the rain of the past few days, a powerful spray of wind sprayed our pants, providing a true wildlife experience.
