Günster wasserfall

(Gunster wasserfall)

Günster wasserfallThe Günster wasserfall is a big waterfall east of the village Krakaudorf in the region Steiermark, Austria.

The Günster wasserfall is easy to reach but is not located in the tourist areas where people use to go. In 2022 the waterfall is not correct located in Google maps. When driving from Krakaudorf to Schröder (over the Kunstenweg, near road 96) there is a sign along the road that lead to a parking at a small hut where you can buy some beverages (Gasthof Wedam, gps 47.185187, 14.065981). They make homemade pie and limonade which I can recommend!!!

From the parking it is a short walk, following the river Schröderbach at the left side,  before you reach the first viewpoint on the Günster wasserfall. I directly fell in love with this gorgeous waterfall. It is always difficult to explain why but everything was right, nature, the amount of water, the atmosphere, the walk, the views, everything!!!

There are several manmade viewpoint at the Günster wasserfall and the waterfall consists out of three major stages. I walked up along the river to the top of the upper drop. You can continue your walk and make further on a trail that ends at the parking. I stopped and walked down and took the path to the “Markushöhe” where you have the best view on the Günster wasserfall. The path also ends at the parking. The roundtrip took me 35 minutes and was easy to do, also for children.

The river Schröderbach cascades down from the mountain over 65 meters and the Günster wasserfall is one of the highest waterfalls in the region Steiermark and very popular by tourists. In summertime the water flow in the Günster wasserfall is 0,25-0,3 m3/sec. I have seen pictures where the Günster wasserfall was quite powerful but when I was there July 2022 the amount of water in the waterfall was okay but not extremely powerful.

My advise, visit this great waterfall, take your time and enjoy your stay with a nice homemade limonade and pie, that is vacation!!

There are other waterfalls in the region you can visit: the Dürrmoos wasserfall or the Landschitz wasserfall (50 min drive).
