Just a quarter of an hour from Salzburg on the Railjet lies the market town of Golling an der Salzach. "Golling" comes from the Slovenian "golica," meaning "grass-covered mountain." Shortly after stepping...
What you definitely won't find here, however, is a national park atmosphere à la Yosemite! The destination of this circular hike is the Golling Waterfall, consisting of two impressive cascades. Within a large rocky gorge, surrounded by coniferous trees, you can relax and immerse yourself in a completely different world.
Between 30,000 and 42,000 liters of water per second plunge 100 meters into the depths below. Especially on warm days, it's great fun to cool off and refresh yourself in the spray of the cold water.
However, the waterfall isn't the only highlight along this route. Fans of the musical "The Sound of Music" can pause at the photo point by St. Nicholas Church and capture the moment.
Except for the stairs and the section of terrain at the waterfall, the tour is relatively flat and easy to walk. Including travel time and breaks, you should allow about four hours. Information on opening hours and any admission prices can be found on the Golling Waterfall website.

The paths become narrower, and we are surrounded by cows, donkeys, and horses. At the fork after the A10 underpass, we turn right. The St. Nicholas Church, visible from afar, can serve as a landmark. It stands on a hill in the Lacher settlement; we walk past it on the left, and at the end of the road, conifers transform the path into a forest track. A few meters further on is the entrance to the waterfall. In the waterfall's nature reserve, you can explore to your heart's content and enjoy the cascades via the permanently installed walkways and stairs. Those who want to reach the source at the very top can expect an elevation gain of approximately 130 meters.
It's a good idea to take a break and then make the return journey a loop. To do this, simply turn left after the church and follow the Schwarzenbach path before turning right onto the meadow path. From here, the way to the train station is signposted.
