Description

The loop hike begins at the bus stop near the Sonne Liesele inn and follows the signs for “Wasserfall” toward the Tiefentalalm. After a short stretch on a farm road, a hiking trail branches off to the left toward the Tiefentalalm. The route follows this trail to the viewing platform at the Pfitschebach Waterfall, which is reached after about 15 minutes.

The trail then leads back along the same path to the junction toward Tiefentalalm. From there, a slightly steeper hiking trail leads uphill to the forest road toward Neubergalm. The return trip follows the forest road toward Enger/Bichl and then the valley hiking trail back to the starting point.
