WildeWasserWeg: all stages

popis

The WildeWasserWeg (Wild Water Trail) is made up of three stages, which can be explored in one go or one at a time. The trail starts at the quarry in Ranalt on the bank of the river Ruetz and leads you through the spectacular Ruetz Katarakt to the Tschangelair Alm. From there, it continues over the Grawa and Sulzenaualm and onto the Sulzenau Hut. The Sulzenauferner glacier represents the end of the trail and at the same time the source of the water. This is the glacier where the water first comes to the surface, makes its way down the valley and helps to form the natural spectacle of the WildeWasserWeg.

On the well-marked tour, hikers are led past impressive places surrounded by raw beauty. From the valley right up to over the tree line, the trail takes you into high-alpine terrain – repeatedly taking you past powerful waterfalls like the Grawa Waterfall and the Sulzenaufall. With views of impressive glacier phenomena like the rugged Sulzenauferner and the Zuckerhütl, you hike through a landscape with large moraine and turquoise-coloured mountain lakes, smaller “mountain puddles”, watering places, smooth polished glacial abrasions and idyllic wetlands, bordered by extensive cotton grass.
