Umbal Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Tour is very good when it is hot and sunny: there is a lot of shade and coolness through the spray of the river. Also very good for children, as there are many play options in the hut.

May 1, 2025,Tour an den Umbalfällen in Osttirol

A tour along the last free-flowing glacial river in the Alps. The Isel River plunges here, in its main stream and numerous tributaries, into the valley toward Matrei and Lienz, offering an impressive panorama. Simply stunning and highly recommended and worth seeing. So impressive that I almost forgot to deactivate the pause button.

Today, between the rain showers, we were able to take a wonderful walk around the Umbar Falls. It's a wonderful spectacle to see the water find its way through the rocks. Fantastic!

2 parking spaces are easy to reach and at €8 for 24 hours it's OK. The hike is easy and really beautiful. When you're through the gorge it opens up and you have a nice place to relax where you can cool your feet. From the snack station you can also commute to the parking lot by horse-drawn carriage... costs …

Hike in the Hohe Tauern National Park to the Isel waterfalls. The Isel is the last free-flowing glacier river in the Alps. On a water viewing trail you can see the spectacular and impressive gorge of the cataracts.

After yesterday's big round, take it easy today. But the hike directly along the Umbal Falls and back through the forest had something 👍👍👍.
