Impressive natural spectacle

For a long time now, the oaks in Hinterthal have been considered a natural wonder and were therefore declared a natural monument in 2001. Surrounded by the Hochkönig and the Steinernes Meer, the path to the waterfall is no less impressive. By the way, the term "Triefen" means rain-like curtains of drops. The waterfalls are actually quite well described by this. All you can do is pause, take a deep breath and enjoy!
