Suspension Stairway

Highlight • Bridge

Something completely different! Not a suspension bridge, but a suspended staircase! Depending on how many people are on it, the stairs swing quite a bit!

Stuiben Power Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A steep climb to the top of the waterfall. If you want to climb up there, you should have a head for heights. The lattice steps and the shaky bridge take some getting used to.

July 18, 2025,Stuiben Urkraftbrücke – Stuibenfall Aussichtsplattform Runde von Umhausen

The trail also leads past the Birds of Prey Sanctuary and the Ötzi Village. We also took advantage of the flight show (interesting and worth seeing), and we were familiar with the Ötzi Village and will save it for next time.

July 31, 2025,🇦🇹 Umhausen-Stuibenfall-Umhauser Höhenweg-Steppsteig-Umhausen

Tyrol's largest waterfall, with a drop of 159 meters, was on our itinerary today. It's truly impressive. Five exposed platforms invite you to experience it up close. You'll get quite wet on the last one 😅. Before that, we cross an 80-meter-long suspension bridge with a great view of the waterfall. If that's not enough, you can conquer the Stuibenfall …

June 8, 2022,🇦🇹 Stuibenwasserfall – Stuibenfall Runde von Umhausen

We did it and managed to walk over 700 latticed steps. I actually wasn't expecting much from Chester. I let him decide how the tour should go and we can cancel at any time and go back, but he absolutely loved the waterfall and always wanted to go high. I'm so proud of my puppy.. By the way, today we …

September 15, 2022,Ötztal: Umhausenrunde am Stuibenfall

At the beginning of the tour we looked at a great Kneipp facility before we took the Waalweg (currently being renovated) to the waterfall. The first ascent along the Horlachbach already shows the masses of water that flow into the valley here. You climb the waterfall over a suspension bridge and a total of around 700 steps. On the way …

Today we looked at the Stuibenfall in Umhausen, the elemental force of nature. Very nice way up at the waterfall.
So that it is not so easy, then further up, and then slowly descend again. At the end we did a guided tour in the Ötzi village and a bird of prey demonstration in the bird of prey park, very …

September 13, 2021,Wanderung zum Stubienfall im Ötztal

Hike to the highest waterfall in Tyrol.
Up to the waterfall there are a few meters of altitude to be mastered, the way there is well developed and the stairs to the top (about 770 we were told) are at a comfortable height. The suspension bridge / staircase with its 127 steps is very interesting and offers a great view …

May 2, 2024,Zum Wasserfall auf Umwegen

The Stuibenfall is the largest waterfall in Tyrol with a drop of 159 m. Unfortunately, we couldn't complete our first climb because we only got to the first platform. The rest of the path was closed. This meant we couldn't take the via ferrata over the other platforms and bridges. But there's no giving up. So we went back down …
