Walk to the Piller Waterfall
...

A romantic walk along the stream in the narrow Pillertal valley, with the waterfall as the highlight.

This short but very varied route was created by the Schwaz Pioneers. Wide forest tracks, narrow steep paths by the waterfall and a meadow teeming with small wildlife make for a family-friendly and eventful hike. However, the path along the Pioniersteig is very narrow and steep and is therefore only suitable for older children.

  • You cross the bridge built by the pioneers and climb briefly up some steps to the Grafenwald.
  • There, the forest path leads back into the village to the church and the Klausen Inn, the starting point.
