Myra Falls, Natural monument waterfall in Muggendorf, Austria
The limestone gorge stretches over 600 meters with 26 winding bridges and walkways leading visitors along cascading waters through multiple levels.
Emperor Franz II and Empress Maria Theresa visited the falls in September 1801, commemorated by a plaque at the entrance of the gorge.
The Austrian Tourist Club established hiking trails in 1885, protecting the falls from industrial development and preserving them for future generations.
The site features parking facilities 300 meters north of Muggendorf, with restaurants available at both the beginning and end of the gorge.
Five million liters of water flow daily through the falls, originating from the Myrabach stream that starts in the Unterberg limestone massif.

Austria extends well beyond Vienna and Salzburg. Away from major tourist routes lie natural monuments and historical sites that reveal the country's geological and cultural heritage. From the Eisriesenwelt ice caves near Werfen to medieval castles such as Hochosterwitz in Carinthia, this collection documents the diversity of Austrian regions. The selection includes alpine lakes like Plansee near Reutte and Altausseer See, historical railways in the Waldviertel, gorges such as Garnitzen Klamm, and mountain roads like the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Libraries such as the one at Admont Abbey, waterfalls at Krimml and Gastein, and memorial sites like Mauthausen are among the documented locations. These destinations reveal Austria's geographical range and make a visit worthwhile.
