Third Reinbach Waterfall

The last waterfall on the hike. Very nice to watch from the bridge. Personally, I found the first to be the most impressive.

9. Reflection Point: Brother Death This reflection point is located in a unique location, surrounded by rocky gorges and a rushing stream below. A bench shaped like a coffin invites visitors to reflect on death. A gate points the way to death (Revelation 3:8) on the front and to the resurrection (John 11:25) on the back. Established by the parish of Taufers, this place offers the opportunity to meditate in silence and reflect on the transition between life and death.

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.

Lower waterfall whose 15-meter drop pours into a small blue basin. A small bridge precedes the entrance to the Schwarzbachklamm gorge, a section facilitated by wooden scaffolding.

Path through the Mühlenklamm. The entire circular route along the Mühlener Klammweg is 3.5 km with an elevation gain of 130 m. With fantastic weather, we had the gorge almost all to ourselves and it was very bearable on the hot days. Although the gorge cannot compete with the well-known gorges of South Tyrol, it is free and definitely not overcrowded with tourists
