Wasserfall zum Toten Weib, Natural cascade in Neuberg an der Mürz, Austria
Wasserfall zum Toten Weib is a natural waterfall in Neuberg an der Mürz that originates from a karst spring and carves through limestone formations. The water descends through dense forest, creating a distinctive cascade within the mountainous landscape.
The karst spring system developed over millennia as water slowly dissolved limestone formations. This geological process shaped the current waterfall landscape, which continues to change gradually.
The name references a local legend tied to the place, still shared by people in the area today. This story gives the waterfall a special meaning beyond its natural beauty.
Visitors reach this waterfall via marked hiking trails starting from Neuberg an der Mürz through forested terrain. Sturdy footwear is essential since the path can be wet and uneven, particularly after rainfall.
Water flows continuously throughout the year, even in winter when surrounding areas are frozen. This constant spring source means the waterfall never runs dry regardless of the season.
