A waterfall that deserves its name. You can take great photos here. Starting point for two huts with the same name (Tribulaunhütte), one in Austria and one in Italy. If you are looking for a tour that goes from Gschnitztal via the Italian Tribulaunhütte to Pflerschtal, take a look at my From Gschnitztal to Pflerschtal 20km tour. Important: the Italian side requires surefootedness and you should not be afraid of heights.
