Hike to the Gradenbach Waterfall

Data:

Tour description

The Gradenbachwasserfall in the Gradenbachtal is considered a hidden gem of the region and a certified natural monument of Styria. This magnificent waterfall is located at the end of the valley, before the ascent to the Ahornsee and Grafenbergsee begins.

You walk the first part of the route along the Siebenbrünn water adventure trail, past the Weißenbach Kneipp facility, to the forest road of the Gradenbachtal. Arriving at the end of the idyllic valley at the hunting lodge, the beautiful Gradenbachwasserfall awaits you, slightly hidden in the back left.

From the parking lot at the Sonnberg crossroads, you stroll along the Wassererlebnispfad Siebenbrünn with its babbling brooks, small water wheels, and lovingly designed (water) play stations, past the Kneippanlage Weißenbach, along shaded forest paths to the forest road of the Gradenbachtal. Initially, the route is flat, following the small Gradenbach stream, until you reach the hunting lodge (899 m) and the somewhat hidden Gradenbachwasserfall.
