A refreshing nature experience
Start in Abtenau: Setting off on an adventure
The hike starts at the market square in Abtenau! After about a 30-minute walk, you'll reach the picturesque Au district. If you're traveling by car, the hikers' parking lot is located just before the local history museum.
Now the nature experience begins: to the left of the former Aumühle inn, the path leads towards the Dachserfall, while to the right the ascent to the Tricklfall begins.
Variant 1: Kneipp facility – Dachserfall – Tricklfall
Keep left in front of the former Aumühle Inn – after a few minutes, you'll reach the idyllic Kneipp Au facility. Here, you can revitalize your feet in the ice-cold mountain water, breathe deeply, and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Revitalized, you'll continue directly to the platform at Dachser Falls. The sight of the cascading water is impressive – you'll feel the power of nature up close! Take your time to absorb the sound.
Now the next stage begins: The path continues left over a bridge and joins the circular trail to Tricklfall. A narrow path (surefootedness required!) takes you to the high-altitude trail. Several small access routes lead you directly to the roaring water – a truly goosebump-inducing moment!
The return journey then takes you along the hiking trail back to the former Aumühle Inn.
Variant 2: Tricklfall – Dachserfall – Kneipp facility
Start your hike on the right side of the former Aumühle Inn. Immediately afterward, the trail turns left and leads through the forest to the Tricklfall waterfall.
A spectacular natural spectacle awaits you here: Several small paths take you directly to the foaming water. Feel the delicate drops of water in the air and let yourself be swept away by the power of the water!
After the Tricklfall, a gently ascending path leads you to the Dachserfall after about 500 m. If you want to explore even more, take a short detour to the viewing platform (on the right after the bridge).
From here, the walk continues along the herbal trail—an idyllic path lined with medicinal plants and trees, with fascinating information panels. Finally, you reach the Kneipp facility, where you can refresh yourself once again.
If you need some refreshment after your hike, you should definitely stop at the Wandalm snack bar – a perfect way to end the day with a good snack or a freshly caught trout from the Dachserfall waters!
