Umbal falls, Three-tiered waterfall system in East Tirol, Austria
The Umbal Falls form a sequence of three distinct waterfalls along the Umbalbach River, flowing through steep gorges within Hohe Tauern National Park.
The waterfalls gained recognition in the 1920s when the Vienna Boys Choir regularly visited during their summer excursions to the East Tirol region.
The Natur-Kraft-Weg, established as Europe's first interpretive Waterfalls Walk, features educational panels explaining the natural forces shaping the landscape.
Visitors can access the falls via a 5-kilometer round trip trail from the Ströden Car Park, with seven observation platforms providing different viewing angles.
The waterfalls derive their power from the Umbalkees Glacier melt, creating varying water intensities throughout the seasons and peak flow during summer months.
