easy closed Water hikes · Gröbminger Land
Logging work on the penstock - Salza power plant Logging work is necessary to ensure plant safety along the penstock at the Salza power plant. The trees on both sides of the penstock are being felled to ensure the safety of the pipeline. A permit has been obtained for the upcoming work in accordance with the Forestry Act. The felling work will be carried out as carefully as possible and is expected to begin on Tuesday, November 5, 2024 and last until Thursday, November 7, 2024. The felled timber is expected to be flown out by helicopter on November 11, 2024. Due to the work, the path to the Salza waterfall will not be accessible during these periods! We kindly ask you to observe the closure, as there is a danger to life and limb in the work area!
An ideal place for humans and animals to spend time together and be fascinated by the spectacle of the water when the 40m high spray of the waterfall flows into a "lagoon". The tour starts at the new car park directly after the entrance to the Salza. Follow the signs along the road until you reach the bridge, where you then turn right over a footbridge to the waterfall.
Note: From the bridge uphill to the left, you reach the Salza reservoir after a longer walk.

Weather upheavals, rapid drops in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snowfields are objective dangers and require the right behaviour on the road. Hutkeepers are experienced mountain connoisseurs who can give good tips on the weather and the route. Lack of equipment, overestimation of one's own abilities, carelessness, poor physical condition and a wrong assessment can lead to critical situations. During thunderstorms: Avoid peaks, ridges and rope belaying at all costs.
