The Rushing Keilkeller Waterfall
Description
Discover the treasures of the valley
From the Mayrhofen train station we hike a short distance in the direction to Schwendau and then turn onto the Hippach-Schwendau forest trail. After about 25 minutes we reach the valley station of the Horbergbahn. Our ascent begins at the old Zimmerhäusl mill, the only one of eight mills that survived the flood of 1946. Now the partly stony and rooty path begins, which leads us through mixed forest past the "Wilde Mann Schrofen". Before we reach the waterfall area, there is a narrow passage to master. We can then enjoy the impressive waterfall up close. As an extra we hike to a viewpoint with a great view over the valley. From the Ramsau-Hippach train station we take the Zillertalbahn back to the starting point.
