Waterfalls Austria (Osttirol)

OSTTIROL is located south of the FELBERTAUERNTUNNEL (Toll) (south of MITTERSIL
on Hwy.108). The STEINERFALL is located in the PROSSEGGKLAMM close to the city
of MATREI. Parking is possible at the beginning of the trail, about 2 kilometers north of
MATREI on Hwy. 108. I have shot the pictures of upper falls in July 1999.
Access to the lower falls is by driving from MATREI to PROSSEGG. Follow the trail along
the river to the lower falls. Pictures of the lower fall have been shot in July 2001.

The STEINERFALL can be reached on an
easy trail in about 30 minutes from Hwy.108.
I can't say how high this fall is in total as
you can see only parts, the visible part is
about 50 meters (150 foot).

Below are the pictures from the lower STEINERFALL, the fall is over 100 meter high.
