This impressive waterfall is clearly visible even from the road and attracts hikers and cyclists with its majestic sight. The path up only rises slightly, but we repeatedly stop to enjoy the magnificent view of the roaring water. I am surprised by the size of this natural wonder: with a drop of about 30 meters, the water plunges over several cascades a total of around 80 meters into the depths, down to the Schwarzbach power station at the foot of the mountain. Since 1955, this waterfall has been protected as a Vorarlberg natural monument, which underscores its special significance for the region. The source of the Montjolabach, which feeds the waterfall, is one of the most abundant drinking water sources in all of Vorarlberg. This interplay of natural power and sustainability makes the waterfall a fascinating excursion destination for nature lovers.

The Kesselfall waterfall near Brand is a beautiful, thunderous waterfall that plunges through a 40-meter-deep gorge of the Alviersbach stream. It's particularly impressive after heavy rainfall.

The Bürser Gorge was formed by the interplay of water and ice after the retreat of the glaciers about 10,000 years ago. The Alvierbach stream created a spectacular, almost jungle-like landscape with moss-covered rocks and a rich flora.

A small side path leads directly to the waterfall. Even when you are close, you can feel the pleasantly cool water. You can also shower right there. But be careful of the slippery stones.
