Weitental Valley

Highlight • Gorge

simple, steadily slightly rising farm road through the Weitental. In summer you should definitely think of sun protection as there is no shade. Great high alpine feeling

View of the waterfall from the rest area

Highlight • Viewpoint

The rest area is rather a dry riverbed in summer. But from there you can see one of the highest waterfalls quite well!

Schraubenfall (Hintertux)

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

The impressive screw case reveals the tremendous forces that free the water when falling. Not surprising that he is protected by nature monument.

Highly recommended is the 4km long waterfall …

July 13, 2022,Wasserfallrunde Hintertux 💦🥾 über Tuxer Joch ⛰️

A medium-difficult hiking tour from the valley station of the Gletscherbahn in Hintertux. You can park for free. And the first waterfall can be admired directly behind the parking lot. From here it goes up the mountain through the shady forest, over a high moor and many great views of the Olperer and the glacier. Halfway up you pass another …

So: Check out the pictures!

Then the path led uphill, quite strenuous in places, first to the Schleierwasserfall and then to the Tuxerjochhaus, where I had a short rest and then walked to the lookout point. From there it was always downhill to the Sonnenbergalm and then on along the waterfall …

Today we hike through the Weitental to the Schleier waterfall and further up through the grandiose landscape of the marmots to the Tuxerjochhaus.
After a long rest 🍲🍝🍺🥛 we descend to the mountain station of the Sommerbergalm and further descend to the screw waterfall through a breathtaking mountain forest 🏞️down along the Tuxbachklamm. A long tour, but not particularly strenuous. …
