Top 20 Gorges around Mühlwald - Selva Dei Molini

Beautiful path through the valley to Meransen

The bike ride along the Zemmbach stream is a special experience – scenically beautiful and physically challenging. From the start in the Zillertal, the wildly rushing stream accompanies the route steadily uphill towards the Schlegeis reservoir. The trail leads through several impressive gorges where the water has carved deep into the rock. Especially in the morning hours, when the light streams through the narrow rock faces and the fog slowly lifts, an almost mystical atmosphere arises. The bike ride itself is well-developed but challenging: Numerous elevation gains, steeper sections, and tight bends demand stamina – but the reward is magnificent. Spectacular views of waterfalls, rugged rock formations, and the alpine surroundings open up again and again. A perfect combination of enjoyment of nature, physical challenge, and alpine adventure.

The third Reinbach Waterfall is a majestic natural wonder that unfolds along the hiking trail along the Reinbach Gorge. This waterfall impresses with its imposing height and the powerful energy with which the water plunges into the depths. The waterfall is particularly fascinating because it is divided into several cascades that cascade in stages over the rocks. The water roars with a powerful roar, creating a continuous spectacle of spray and mist. The smell of fresh moisture and the sound of the water lapping against the rocks create an atmosphere of raw natural power. The area surrounding the waterfall is characterized by dense forests and moss-covered stones, emphasizing the wild beauty of the place. The third waterfall is particularly visible from the bridge, and the view is simply breathtaking. The view of the water, which forcefully makes its way along the rocks, conveys a sense of freedom and wild beauty. The bridge over the gorge leads hikers directly to the best vantage point, from where they can experience the entire spectacle of the waterfall up close. Here, the sound and visual power of the waterfall can be fully enjoyed—a moment of awe before nature that invites contemplation and admiration.

The bridge over the gorge of the third Reinbach Waterfall is a particularly impressive structure on the St. Francis Way. It spans the deeply incised gorge, formed by the water of the third waterfall. The wooden bridge blends harmoniously into the wild, natural surroundings. From the bridge, you have a breathtaking view of the waterfall, which plunges into the depths with a loud roar. The spray of the water is noticeable in the air and provides a refreshing coolness. Below the bridge, you can observe the roaring current of the water, which incessantly makes its way through the rocks. The bridge itself is sturdy but simple, almost like a signpost, guiding hikers safely on their way. As you cross it, you sense the connection between raw nature and humane craftsmanship. It is a magical moment to stand on the bridge, listen to the rushing water, and take in the wild beauty of the place. This bridge not only provides a convenient connection between the two banks of the gorge, but also a momentarily beautiful view of the third waterfall, which plunges powerfully into the ravine. It's a spot that wonderfully showcases the untamed power of nature and the quiet beauty of this region.

It is a closed valley but in winter it is snowy and very beautiful, practically always under the sun, since it is easy, it is also recommended for families. At the end of the valley there is a typical mountain refuge that is always open, in winter only from Sunday to Thursday.
