Heisstunnel

Highlight • Structure

Very difficult to access, especially due to the storm 2 weeks ago. The riverbed shifted across the path and took the fortifications with it. We had to turn around from the bridge!

There is a very special atmosphere on this path, which leads you from Bad Gastein to Sportgastein (or vice versa) through impressive nature. Steep rock faces rise up to the left and right and a waterfall rushes into the valley again and again - just like the so-called Schleierfall. Don't forget to take photos!

Fantastic nature hike in June, tranquility is drenched by the rushing of the waterfalls.
Snow avalanches On the edge of the path, clearing up of the torn tree trunks.
Witness the forces of nature.
Highly recommended, easy walk, but alpine terrain with a risk of falling rocks. Don't go after heavy rain.
