Description

Standing in front of the Fischerwirt, turn left and walk through the underpass under the Achensee main road. Then follow the paved footpath on the right-hand side of the main road for about 450 metres. Turn right at the third driveway. From there, follow the signs for "Wasserfall" (waterfall). Return along the same route.

Alternatively, the walk can be shortened by starting directly at the third driveway, at the junction of Köglweg and Pulverermühlstraße. This reduces the walking time by about 15 minutes. There is a small car park at the driveway.
