Johanneswasserfall — Attraction in Untertauern

Absolutely amazing waterfall with an option to walk behind the water stream. It is part of the family hiking trail „Alles Alm“ around the two „Gnadenalm“ locations.

The hiking trail is very easy with only a short episode of a moderately steeper ascent. It is suited for kids starting from 3-4. The trail is accompanied by some learning, playing, and mystery areas for kids. The hike with the waterfall takes around 2h.

Once arriving at the waterfall the path gets very narrow and slippery. It is recommended to walk behind the waterfall only with hiking experience and older kids. The view of the waterfall’s front and back is amazing and very satisfying.

From the waterfall you can return the same way you arrived (recommended for families with little kids) or take the roundtrip (recommended for hikers without little kids). The latter comes with some steeper ascents, narrow paths, and the need to utilize available steel security lines. It is very interesting though and provides some...

Majestic waterfall next to the B99 highway. Free to visit.

1. look out for the entrance for the descent via stairs along the B99 highway. Quite a small sign. Some roadside parking spaces available.

2. park just further down at Felseralm. Also roadside parking along B99 but more visible with a bus stop. The route to the waterfall from here takes abit longer. Relatively easy path until you arrive at the rocky descent. May have loose rocks and could be slippery after rain.

3. would say both the above is not too difficult but also possibly not for everyone. There is also a viewing platform from point 1) to see the waterfall beneath you.

4. we also did the alles alm/ gnadenalm family trail and took the detour to this waterfall as many did. It eventually leads to the same paths as point 1 & 2 above. But was a beautiful hike. This round...

The waterfall is beautiful, you can even go behind it. Right next of the road you can park for free, from there you have 2 way to get to the waterfall, either take the stairs and you are right there, but this could be dangerous, as the steps are sometimes slippery. Or you can take a roind trip which takes around an hour. I would say its not a hard trip, but would probably not do it with young kids or old people. There is actually a 3rd way to get there down the road there is a guest house where you can park. From there it seemed like a mostly flat walk. Definitely reccomend to check...
