Hidden away in the idyllic Voglau district, not far from Abtenau, lies one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the Tennengau region – the Aubach Falls. Here, water thunders down several cascades, enveloping the air in a refreshing mist. Especially on hot summer days, this spot is a true oasis – the fine spray of water provides a pleasant cooling effect, while the incessant rushing sound offers an impressive natural spectacle.
A visit is worthwhile not only for nature lovers, but also for photographers and hikers who want to enjoy the wild beauty of the landscape.
The hike begins at the Pichl parking lot, near the forester's lodge in Voglau. After a short stretch along the road, cross the Aubach stream over a bridge and continue left. Directly at the end of the forest, a path branches off to the left. From here, a well-marked trail leads toward the rushing Aubach Falls. After just a few minutes, you'll feel the spray in the air—a sure sign that you're approaching the waterfall.
A narrow path leads you to a viewing point where you can experience the roaring water up close. It's worth pausing here: listen to the roaring sound of the water, feel the refreshing moisture in the air, and enjoy the raw power of nature.
After this impressive natural experience, continue your hike. Return to the road after the detour to the Aubach waterfall and turn left towards Lammerklamm, a spectacular gorge. Here, the Lammer River has carved its way through the rock over millennia, creating a breathtaking gorge with steep walls and narrow passages.
A well-secured climbing route (www.Lammerklamm.at (Open from April to October) leads past impressive whirlpools, pools, and narrow rock passages. The roaring torrents of water rushing through the narrow gorge create an unforgettable spectacle.
After the impressive hike through the Lammerklamm gorge, you have two options for the return journey: either you hike back to Voglau along the same path or you treat yourself to a well-deserved break at the cozy country inn "Lammerklause" (please note the days it is closed). Here you can enjoy regional delicacies and reflect on the experiences of the tour in a relaxed atmosphere. Tip: There is a bus stop directly in front of the inn – with your Guest Mobility ticket, you can travel to Voglau free of charge by bus (470 & 471). From the bus stop, it is then just under half an hour back to the starting point of the hike.
