Priessnitz Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The waterfall of the Prießnitz river is something special. To experience these forces of nature. you do this hike. The rest options = rest area with seating and the hut, which can only be reached via steps, offer individual hikers as well as groups of hikers opportunities to linger here for a certain time. A refreshing footbath in the river bed is refreshing, but as there is quite a current, you have to be careful not to get knocked over by it.
