The place is beautiful along the view and the experience is quite unique! After accessing the path, crossing a suspended wooden bridge, there are several waterfalls of different dimensions till arriving to the top, where is possible to see the “hole” from where the water comes out. The ascent is very steep and demanding, even though there are mainly wooden stairs in the first part. The ticket costs to access the path costs 6,80€ (6,50€ online). All in all it took us a couple of hours to go up and come back - with a few stops in between. Enjoy it, but be prepared!

Go there, see it: very picturesque, with the Loser mountain peak and the Totes Gebirge looming large over the lake. A walk around the lake is a must, as is a swim in high summer to cool off. If you’re coming in August you might be lucky to be there for Berge in Flammen ( mountains in flames), when they light fires around the lake and on the peaks surrounding it, including bengal fires illuminate them. And in the end you’ll be treated to firework over the lake - gorgeous! Be sure not to pay the €15 for tickets to the event if you’re not going to go to the main area with music and food stalls - it’s much better viewing to watch it sitting on the beach somewhere around the lake.

when you chose like me to take the "Höll" option be prepared to climb countless steps (natural as well as man made steel ones) - with short legs quite a challenge. You are rewarded with beautiful views of the waterfall, the wild waters, a suspension bridge etc. After having mastered that track reward yourself with a Kaiserschmarrn at Gfölleralm and let the surroundings sink in. Continue to Riesachsee and walk along its shore - you won't regret it.

If in Graz this is a must, weather it is day or night it is well worth the effort of a walk to the top, the history is fascinating and the views over the city amazing.
