Gartl wasserfall

(Gartlbach wasserfall)

Gartl wasserfallThe Gartl wasserfall is a beautiful but unknown waterfall south of Heiligenblut (not far from the famous Jungfernsprung) near the village Döllach (Großkirchheim) in the region Kärnten, Austria.

When driving on road B107 you have to drive to the village of Döllach. From her follow the signs “Gartl wasserfall”. A small road leads to a parking southwest of the main road in Döllach (gps 46.96453, 12.89253). From the the parking a short wall leads to the entrance (free), a wooden gate with some spots where children can play. After a few minutes you will arrive at a man made viewpoint on the Gartl wasserfall.

The lower Gartl wasserfall has a single drop of 60 meters and can be very powerful in May-June. Although the Gartl wasserfall isn’t the highest waterfall in the region of the Grossglockner, it it certainly a visit worthwhile.

Nice to know is that the surrounding of the Gartl wasserfall has its own micro climate. A private clinic did a research after the effect of the small waterdrops on the health of people. The conclusion was that a stay of 1 hour, three days in a row, has positive effect on people with astma and burnouts. Maybe you can try!

There is also a smaller waterfall upstream of the river Gartlbach you can’t see from the lower waterfall.

Best time to visit the Gartl wasserfall is in the morning. Best season to visit the Gartl wasserfall is early summer (June).

There are many waterfalls in the Grossglockner region but close by you can find the most famous and I think also the most beautiful waterfall the Jungfernsprung: a must to visit.
