Waterfalls Austria (Tirol)

The ERLER waterfall is located near the German border at KIEFERSFELDEN. From
AUTOBAHN A93 take exit 50. Follow the road to the Austrian border and take a left
after the bridge and follow the signs to ERL. Before ERL note an unusual building on
the right, that's the PASSIONSSPIELHAUS, turn right and look for the signs to the
waterfall. It is a short 10 minutes walk from here. I have shot this picture in May 2002.
The fall is about 25 meters (75 ft.) high, with less water in the summer months.

The LECHNER waterfall is located
near WÖRGL south of KUFSTEIN.
Look for the signs if you want visit
this fall, but it's not worth; it's height
is about 50 meters, but with very less
water. I have shot this picture in July
1999. I have also been to this fall
in May 2002 but there was not more
waterflow this time of the year.

Right:
The LECHNER waterfall is about
50 meters (150 ft.) high.

The BUCHER waterfall is located
near SCHWAAZ, north of INNSBRUCK.
Drive to the village of BUCH, the trail
is well signed from the parking area
in the center and it's only a short 30
minutes one-way trail. I have shot
this picture in July 1999.

Right:
The BUCHERFALL is about
25-30 meters (75-90 foot) high.
It's an short and easy trail from
the village of BUCH.

The BAIRACHE waterfall is located near
the ERZHERZOG JOHANN KLAUSE.
Best access is from VALEPP in Germany.
From here it's a 2 ½ hour one-way trail.
Follow the trail to ERZHERZOG JOHANN
KLAUSE thru a wonderful canyon. Then
walk westbound for another 30 minutes
along the BAIRACHE. I have shot this
picture in April 1998.

Left:
The BAIRACHEFALL can be seen from
the street, there is no trail leading
to the fall, as the fall has no name
I have named him after the river.
The fall should be about 150 meters.

The LOCHNER waterfall can be reached
from WALCHSEE, northeast of KUFSTEIN
on the road to KÖSSEN. Take the road to
the north, from the centre of the village
and look for the soccer stadium, there
is a big parking area, follow now the signs
to the waterfall, it's a 30-45 minutes steep
walk, to the 10 meter (30 ft.) high fall .
I have shot this picture in May 2002.

The TRAINSBACH waterfall can be reached
driving from KUFSTEIN to THIERSEE and
from here to the small village of SCHMIED-
TAL. At the first bus stop on the left is some
place to park your car. Cross the street, at
the GASTHAUS at the other side starts the
short but very steep trail up to the fall in the
KORINUSKLAMM. It takes only about 15
minutes to reach the 25 to 30 meter high fall.
The picture was shot in May 2002.

The BAD HÄRING waterfall can be reached
driving from KUFSTEIN southbound to
WÖRGL. At KIRCHBICHL take the turnoff
to BAD HÄRING and follow the road to
SCHWOICH. At OSTERNDORF leads
a forest road to the waterfall, park at the
begin of this road (less space) and follow
the signs to the fall, thats an easy 20 to
30 minutes hike to the small fall. The
height is about 15 to 20 meters (60 ft.)
I have shot the picture in May 2002.

This two waterfalls are located close to GERLOS. (Highway B165, west of the KRIMMLER
waterfalls, east of the ZILLERTAL) If you leave GERLOS westbound you will reach the small
village of RIED, park your car at the GERLOSBACH river. The waterfall at the left is located
in the RIEDER KLAMM, just follow the signs northbound up the hill for a few minutes, look
for trail #9. The fall is not easy to reach, you have to leave the trail after a few minutes, look
for a red sign on your right side (not easy to see), now follow the very bad trail down to the
river, the last yards there is some easy climbing to reach the viewpoint. The visible part of
the RIEDERBACH waterfall is about 15 to 20 meters (60 ft.) The waterfall at the right is easy
to reach, from your car use the bridge southbound over the GERLOSBACH river, and look
for trail #7a that is a little bit uphill of trail #7. Follow this trail for about 30 minutes and you
are at the base of the WILDERBACH waterfall. Height is about 20 meters (60 ft.)

The FALLBACH waterfall can be found
north of HALL (east of INNSBRUCK).
From HALL drive northbound to GNADEN-
WALD. If you see a little chapel in the
forest take the next parking area on your
left. The region here is the ALPENPARK
KARWENDEL. Follow the trail heading to
the mountains along the river (mostly dry),
at the end of the trail you see that little
waterfall, not very impressive, perhaps this
one is better in spring, the visible height
is about 40 to 50 meters (120 ft.) The
trail is very easy, round-trip about 1 hour.
