Stuibenfall, Tallest waterfall in Tirol, Umhausen, Austria.
Stuibenfall is a waterfall in Tirol formed by the Horlachbach brook that drops in two distinct stages. The water volume ranges from 600 to 2000 liters per second depending on the season and rainfall.
The waterfall has shaped the development of Umhausen village for centuries, influencing where people settled and how they farmed in the Ötztal. The water's natural power has always been a defining feature of this mountain landscape.
The illuminations on Wednesday evenings show a regional tradition where locals and visitors walk together with lanterns in hand.
The path to the waterfall features 700 steps with multiple viewing platforms and an 80-meter suspension bridge. The complete walk from the parking area takes about 30 minutes and is easiest to navigate in dry conditions.
Water droplets create a mist cloud containing ions that can enhance physical well-being. Scientific studies have examined these effects on air quality around the waterfall.
