Staubfall (Heutal)

(Staubbachfall)

Staubfall - HeutalThe Staubfall is an astonishing beautiful waterfall near Heutal in the region Salzburg, Austria. The waterfall is situated near the borden with Germany but from the Heutal (Austria), the Staubfall is easy to access.

From Unken and road 178 a small road leads to the Heutal. The road ends at a big parking (payed). Walk back the road towards the Heutaler Hof from where a signed trail leads to the Fischbachfall in 5-10 minutes. The track is also numbered as “8” and leads also to the huge Staubfall, one of the highest and most impressive waterfalls in Austria. Only in the beginning of the trail you maybe need to find your way, but further on there is only one path, so it can’t miss

From the Fischbachfall it is another 15-20 minutes before you will reach the huge Staubfall which you really have to visit. The trail is at some part a little bit challenging. After the hike you can have lunch or just drink or eat something on the terrace of the picturesque Heutaler Hof. The people are very friendly and this was a good end of the hike.

The Staubfall is a waterfall with a height of appr. 250 meters and you can view the waterfall from a short distance, from the path that leads behind the Staubfall. It is almost impossible to take a picture of the Staubfall in total because of its height. I have also seen pictures taken from the opposite mountains that were very impressive, but the trail to that viewpoint starts from Germany.

Best time to visit the Staubfall is from noon, maybe a little bit later in the afternoon. Best season is late spring or early summer when the river Staubbach is being fed by a lot of melting water from the mountains.
