WildeWasserWeg

Along the wildwater.

Water is pure life! Constantly in motion, strong, formative and full of energy, it has always attracted people. Retracing the rapid creek in the Stubaital to its origins and to follow its path is particularly exciting.

At the WildeWasserWeg in the Stubaital with its unique alpine sites, this natural phenomenon can be experienced in a fantastic way on three stages. Starting from glacier fields in the sun, deep-blue mountain lakes, some smaller springs that eventually turn into roaring waterfalls, all the way to small clearings and moorlands – the WildeWasserWeg has all the different manifestations of the wet element on offer.

The variety of sites is impressive, from picturesque side valleys and idyllic river landscapes to magnificent viewing platforms.

New access to the trail

The new access to the WildWaterWay in the Stubai Valley leads from Mutterberg (Eisgratbahn valley station) along the young River Ruetz for three kilometres (just under an hour) to the Grawa Alm and the Grawa Waterfall, the widest waterfall in the Eastern Alps. The path is wide and accessible.

A visit to the Stubai Waterfalls has been proven to be good for your health. Waterfalls create a fine aerosol and mainly negative air ions near their point of impact. These micro-particles are so tiny that they can penetrate the finest branches of the lungs and clean them. They also improve the permeability of the upper respiratory tract and can therefore effectively treat or prevent illnesses. These include common health problems such as asthma, allergies, stress and burnout.

Waterfalls are health-boosting

Staying at the waterfalls along WildeWasserWeg Trail is health-promoting. Waterfalls create atomized aerosol and predominantly negatively-charged ions in the area where the water hits the rocks. These micro particles are so small that they can deeply enter and cleanse the lungs. The upper respiratory tracts is expanded and diseases of the lungs can be prevented or healed, including common diseases like asthma, allergies, stress or burnout.
