The hiking trail starts at the car park Bischoffsplatz. From there you continue past the Restaurant Kneipphäusl, following the "Arzwinkl Waalweg" signs. The water trail (Waalweg) travels above the forest road past the Ötzi Village and the Birds of Prey Park (only open in summer) towards the waterfall. At the end of the trail you continue on the wide forest path that takes you to the foot of the Stuibenfall where you can admire the elemental energy of this nature spectacle. From there you walk back on the same route to the starting point of the hike.
Due to clear ice the hiking trail to the waterfall, from Umhausen as well as from Niederthai, will be closed until further!
