Ahrntal Sun Trail - Round trip to the waterfalls

A beautiful one and a half hour hiking trip near Luttach/Lutago and around the mysterious Schwarzbachklamm is the round trip to the waterfalls. You start at the Sportbar in Luttach/Lutago and go into the woods along water channel heading towards Brunnberg. After crossing the stream and another branch-off, the trail takes you close to the Schwarzbach waterfalls. You then descend gently at first but steeper later on. Near to the Weißenbach/Rio Bianco road you will see and hear the thunderous waterfalls. Further down you will see the Schwarzbach gorge and the lower part of the waterfalls. The steep rock walls around take away a lot of the day light. You cross over the scary gorge and once close to Luttach/Lutago you will be in the sparse woods again.

Starting from the sculpture and water park, the route follows the easy hiking trail no. 23 signposted “Wasserfall-Runde” (circular route to the waterfalls), which inclines slightly uphill. The trail leads past a former Waal irrigation channel, which was once used for
irrigation. At the next crossroads, the route crosses over a small bridge on the left and then continues through the Schwarzbach Gorge until the hikers finally find themselves standing in front of the magnificent Schwarzbach waterfall.
The return route first follows the same path until the first junction. The trail now climbs up to the left and leads to the intersection with the Brunnberg road. Here the route turns left again and then follows this road to the first bend where it continues straight ahead along the gravel path. Passing by the Schwarzbach stream, the trail now heads downhill, until, after a short time both the 2nd Schwarzbach waterfall and the 1st fall can be seen from only a short distance until finally the starting point is reached again.
