Gressenstein Waterfall on the Kastensteig Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

Nice way to the Gressenstein waterfall, which provides variety as an ascent variant further to the Sonnenjoch or to the Großer Beil. Slippery when wet but well secured with nylon ropes. Not really dangerous, also very suitable for children.

Gressenstein Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

You can hear the water rushing down from afar. Always nice to look at, such a waterfall, right? Be careful when it rains, it can get slippery on the roots.

Devil's Rock of Gressenstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

In addition to the magnificent bench with a view, a huge boulder (Glockhausstein), broken into several parts, dominates here, which, according to legend, once transported the devil from Gressenstein back to hell.

Gressensteinalm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Gressensteinalm is a quaint, beautiful hut.
For outdoor activists, drinks are cooled in a drinking trough with fresh mountain water.
Everything is based on trust, a cash register is attached to the wall outside.
Great gesture 🤟
