After the strenuous tour, the bath in the stream was very refreshing!

The Kamp winds its way here between the granite rocks, with small waterfalls appearing again and again. A truly picturesque sight that you should briefly enjoy and let the rushing water have an effect on you.

The stream runs through the forest and offers some beautiful photo opportunities. As well as opportunities to cool off in the summer.

Centuries ago, this was already a station on an old pilgrimage route to Mariazell.

This place is truly beautiful. Especially in spring after the snowmelt, when it gurgles and bubbles particularly loudly and you can't see the stream because it's hidden under the rocks.

Worthwhile stopover - 20 minutes is enough - not barrier-free

There are many good reasons to visit the Höllfall! For example, the impressive natural spectacle of numerous small waterfalls that make their way over and between thousands of granite boulders. The Große Kamp River also flows beneath the giant rocks in places, not directly visible but clearly audible. There's also the ravine forest through which the Höllfall flows. The ancient giant trees are even more impressive next to the waterfalls.
