The Poppensand scree field is an exciting natural highlight in the Stodertal Valley, perfect as a finale or contrast to the alpine rock world of the Dolomitensteig trail – a broad, bright scree field at approximately 1,300 meters above sea level, officially called Poppensand. Formed from rockfalls of the surrounding cliffs between Almkogel and Sneslitz, the area resembles an alpine scree desert – barren, vast, and impressive.

The Gumpen Cascades are a series of natural waterfalls and pools (called "Gumpen") that meander like steps through a narrow, rocky valley. The crystal-clear water cascades over smooth rocks, collecting in turquoise-green pools, and creating a wildly romantic natural spectacle. The splashing and rushing sound is particularly refreshing on hot days – you can briefly dip your hands or feet into the ice-cold water, or, if you're feeling brave, even lie down in one of the pools to cool off on hot days.
