Bocksteinrinn Debris Flow Area

Highlight • Natural Monument

In 2016, there was a very large avalanche, which has distributed abundant rock and sand in the valley. Very impressive!

Himmelwand Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

It's worth stopping off at the Himmelwandhütte just because of the heavenly strudel in the most diverse variations. Unfortunately, these creations tend to be detrimental to the character.

View of the Bad Gastein Waterfall

Highlight • Viewpoint

A view that is worth it

Tip by

23.9 km

Bad Gastein's waterfall has several levels and a total drop of 340 meters. The Gasteiner Ache flows through the center of Bad Gastein and offers wonderful photo opportunities. A path with various vantage points and information boards leads along the waterfall. In summer you can fly over the waterfall, secured on a zipline.

Today it was the Himmelwand Hut again - famous for its fantastic whirlpools.
In the Prossau, the traces and devastation of the last storm cells cannot be overlooked. The rock falls are becoming more and more...

September 7, 2022,Bad Gastein: zur Prossauer Alm

Komoot ended up taking us right to the parking garage at the waterfall, above. We didn't want to go back and so we drove down the 10 floors through the parking garage. 😅
That happened to me years ago.

July 17, 2024,Von Bad Hofgastein in die Prossau und Wanderung zum Reedsee

By mountain bike from Bad Hofgastein to the Kötschachtal, then hike to the Reedsee (unfortunately Komoot switched itself off at some point, so the whole route to the lake is not recorded). Back in the Kötschachtal, continue by bike towards the end of the valley to the Alpenhaus Prossau (refreshment stop).

September 1, 2024,🇦🇹 Bad Gastein - Prossau - Bad Hofgastein 🚴‍♂️

Today there was only a slightly smaller round 😀
We went by MTB from Bad Gastein through the Kötschachtal to the Alpenhaus Prossau for lunch. We then went to Bad Hofgastein for an ice cream, and from Bad Hofgastein via Vorderschneeberg and the Erzherzog Johann Promenade back to Bad Gastein.

It was lovely 🤗
