Along the WildWater

Water is pure life! Constantly in motion, strong, formative and full of energy, it has always attracted people. Retracing the rapid creek in the Stubaital to its origins and to follow its path is particularly exciting.

At the WildeWasserWeg in the Stubaital with its unique alpine sites, this natural phenomenon can be experienced in a fantastic way on three stages. Starting from glacier fields in the sun, deep-blue mountain lakes, some smaller springs that eventually turn into roaring waterfalls, all the way to small clearings and moorlands – the WildeWasserWeg has all the different manifestations of the wet element on offer.

Health boosting water

Waterfalls are health-boosting

Staying at the waterfalls along WildeWasserWeg Trail is health-promoting. Waterfalls create atomized aerosol and predominantly negatively-charged ions in the area where the water hits the rocks. These micro particles are so small that they can deeply enter and cleanse the lungs. The upper respiratory tracts is expanded and diseases of the lungs can be prevented or healed, including common diseases like asthma, allergies, stress or burnout.

Examinations of the private Paracelsus University Salzburg have shown that the different Stubai waterfalls have different medical effects. Grawa waterfall is marked by a high concentration of nano-aerosols and a small aerosol size. Already a stay of one hour near Grawa waterfall cleanses the upper respiratory tract and improves the breathing quality significantly.

Sulzenau waterfall has an exceptionally high aerosol and ion concentration – even in sunny areas where visitors can stay dry for a longer time. In combination with the climb up there it is a perfect destination for boosting the cardiopulmonary system.
