WildeWasserWeg
The Wild Waters Up Close
The WildeWasserWeg trail offers a three-stage hike that leads walkers along the Ruetz towards the eternal ice and up to an altitude of 1,200m. Discover roaring waterfalls, sunny picnic areas, and insightful information boards along the way.
A roaring torrent, steep gorges, wooden bridges and platforms … a close encounter with nature at its purest. The 12km, three-stage WildeWasserWeg hike offers a thrilling experience of Alpine water in all its breathtaking forms.
Breathtaking …
… and extraordinary
And the winner is …
The WildeWasserWeg trail! Austria’s Neptun Water Prize for the environment and innovation, first awarded in 1999, went to the WildeWasserWeg in 2021. This showcase project is evolving continuously and, in 2021, quite literally ‘enchanted’ the panel of judges, who called it a ‘particularly successful example of how to use the element of water to create exciting educational experiences!’
Back in the summer of 2019, a further attraction was added to the WildeWasserWeg in the shape of the Grawa Observatory, an architectural marvel that allows visitors to become one with the untamed power of nature, especially on its accessible viewing platform.

Insider TIP
New trail!
The new addition to the WildeWasserWeg trail starts at Mutterberg (Eisgratbahn valley station) and follows the banks of the Ruetz for three kilometres to Grawa Alm, taking just under an hour. The trail is wide and accessible to all.
One-Hour Circular Walks: Roaring Spectacles
If you prefer a more leisurely pace or have limited time available, we recommend the following circular walks:
Option 1: Experience the waterfall up close by taking this new trail past the Tschangelair Alm and across a spectacular bridge over the Langetalerbach.
Option 2: This route follows the WildeWasserWeg up to Tschangelair Alm. Walk past the Alm, cross the stream then make your way back, either to the car park at the Ruetz cataract or to the Nürnberger Hütte bus stop.
Set off from Raffein Galerie. After about twenty minutes, you’ll reach the roaring Grawa waterfall. Continue towards the charming Grawa Alm restaurant, well worth a pit stop for refreshments. Just before you reach the Alm, cross over to the path on the other side of the stream to return to the bus stop or car park. This walk takes about 40 minutes.
