Valley village altitude: 1,031m
Route length: 300m/380m
Approach duration: 25min; Climbing time: 1:15/ 2:20
Difficulty level: B-C

The Stuibenfall via ferrata, which is located in the idyllic Umhausen-Niederthai, is also suitable for young climbing enthusiasts (from 10 years old with appropriate equipment and security) in sections.

There are only a few moderately difficult spots classified with the difficulty level C, the rest of the route is in the B range. The highlight of this via ferrata is its namesake the Stuibenfall – an impressive waterfall that awaits the athletes at the end of the climbing tour.

Equally exciting is one of the two descent options: a rope bridge that leads across the waterfall. On the way back, there are also two viewing platforms that offer a view of the beautiful surroundings.
