"Joyfully roaring, I plunge down the valley. And greet you all a thousand times over": this quote from Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall's Ode to Styria can be found inscribed on a marble plaque at the entrance to the waterfall. It was once installed to celebrate the construction of new steps around this natural force.

Three crystal-clear mountain lakes and a delightful ridgeThe hike over the three Kaltenbach lakes to the Deneck is one of the most rewarding destinations in the Großsölktal and is therefore very popular. The ascent is very well structured and can be divided into six roughly equal sections: Lower – Middle – Upper Kaltenbach Lake – Etrachböden – Schafspitze – Deneck. Those who need to conserve their strength should at least target the Middle Lake and possibly also hike up to the first rise leading to the Upper Lake, which offers a great deep view of the Middle Lake. Children also enjoy the Kaltenbach lakes.

    After the first two lakes the trail gets really steep and towards mountain-top you also have to do some little rock-climbing. Not only on top but also on the whole hike the view is phantastic. From the top down we took a little longer (but not so steep) path down. We hiked up on a sunny warm July summer day. The trail is quickly raising though the woods and after the first climb you are already in in the height where no trees are growing anymore - so you will be 80% of the total hike completely exposed to the sunshine, winds and weather. Do not under-estimate the nearly 1.000 meters climb in that height compared with the exposure to the sun and carry enough water with you!

    Sehr cooler Wanderweg, teilweise sehr steil wenn man die Abkürzungen nimmt. Auch mit Hund recht gut zu bewältigen.
