Günstner Wasserfall, Natural monument and waterfall in Krakau, Austria.

The Günstner Wasserfall drops 65 meters through crystalline rocks, forming two water-carved cauldrons and three cascading sections with a flow rate of 300 liters per second.

In 1906, wooden ladders and climbing aids were installed to make the waterfall accessible to visitors, with an official opening ceremony held on August 12th.

A marble plaque near the waterfall displays an inscription by Hammer-Purgstall, celebrating the construction of new stairs and welcoming visitors to the natural wonder.

The waterfall remains open from early April to mid-October, with maintained footpaths, secure railings, and bridges providing access points for viewing the cascades.

The Bezirkshauptmannschaft Murau designated the waterfall as a protected natural monument on January 20, 1959, preventing its conversion into a hydroelectric power plant.
