Follow the water - Easy paths to the Golling Waterfall !

The paths become narrower, and we are surrounded by cows, donkeys, and horses. At the fork after the A10 underpass, we turn right. The St. Nicholas Church, visible from afar, can serve as a landmark. It stands on a hill in the Lacher settlement; we walk past it on the left, and at the end of the road, conifers transform the path into a forest track. A few meters further on is the entrance to the waterfall. In the waterfall's nature reserve, you can explore to your heart's content and enjoy the cascades via the permanently installed walkways and stairs. Those who want to reach the source at the very top can expect an elevation gain of approximately 130 meters.

It's a good idea to take a break and then make the return journey a loop. To do this, simply turn left after the church and follow the Schwarzenbach path before turning right onto the meadow path. From here, the way to the train station is signposted.

The return trip to Salzburg is just as straightforward. Long-distance trains are the easiest option, requiring only one stop.
