Waterfall trail Nesselwang

Highlight • Waterfall

Impressive hike along the Nesselwang waterfalls. Partly over hill and dale. Very steep and muddy in places. There are a lot of steps to climb. But as already mentioned, very impressive. In the middle of nature!

Schlossbächel valley

Highlight • Trail

Extremely many stairs. It was definitely too many for me. The path is not for me. I prefer to walk uphill. Still beautiful scenery around the waterfall and waterway

If you come like us at the unserviced time, you have the opportunity to buy drinks from a machine. Highly recommended 👍

September 3, 2024,Nesselwang waterval rondwandeling

Today we went for a walk to the Nesselwang waterfall. A circular walk that we walked to the left. The path, which is also a way of the cross, immediately went steadily uphill. Halfway we arrived at a beautiful pilgrimage chapel called Maria Trost. The chapel was open, but you could only enter the vestibule, the rest was not accessible …

May 3, 2025,Wasserfallweg Nesselwang Rundweg über Kappeler Alp, Abstieg über Maria Trost

How Komoot came up with this pace is a mystery to me. According to Garmin, the climb was 530 meters and an average speed of 3.5 km/h. That's probably more realistic.

March 8, 2025,Wanderung zur Kappeler Alp 🥾🌞 08.03.2025

Today we went from the car park at the Alpspitzbahn via the Stations of the Cross to the Maria Trost pilgrimage church and then on to the Kappeler Alp.

After a stop with a view, we continued towards the Böck sports centre and then via the panorama path and the waterfall path back to the starting point.

A very beautiful hike up to the Kappeler Alp along the Mühlenbach stream, with numerous waterfalls and steps. The path leads steeply uphill over rocks and tree roots. The reward is a wonderful view of the Tyrolean Alps. The return journey is also beautiful, leading to the Maria Trost Chapel and back to the Mühlenbach stream. Simply beautiful!

June 28, 2025,Rundtour auf dem Wasserfallweg vom Alpspitzbahn🅿️ Nesselwang

Starting from the parking lot at the Alpspitzbahn cable car (€3), the hike continued along the waterfall path up through the forest.
One thing to note: if you don't like steps, you're better off taking the cable car or taking another route.
I chose the hardcore version and climbed what felt like 2,000,000 steps and then the root path. The …
