The Tux waterfalls crash to the valley floor in a thundering frenzy. An impressive show by Mother Nature awaits you.

First aid kit (gauze bandage, plaster)
Charged mobile phone
Drinks and food (drink plenty of fluid on hikes – but avoid alcohol!)
Start from the bottom station of the glacier cable car in Hintertux. Half left of the valley station of the glacier cable car you can already see the lowest waterfall, the “Kesselfall”. Pass several hairpin turns (path 16 and AV trail 526) until you reach "Schraubenwasserfälle" (Waterfalls which have been declared a natural monument.). Take the narrow trail through the protection forest to the gravel path 14, "Seppelsteig", that comes up from Hintertux. Take it to the right, past "Walfischmaul", a split block of stone in the shape of a whale's mouth. Next, take the right-hand turn on the hiking trail (AV trail 526) in the direction of the "Spannagelhaus". Follow this trail until a sign points to the right for Sommerberg. Cross a narrow bridge to the beautiful valley basin “Waldeben”. Descent to the bottom station of the glacier cable car on path 16.
Deep rock basins, natural stone bridges, caves and gorges fascinate visitors.
