About Felbertauern Waterfalls
The Felbertauern Waterfalls page was kind of a place to put the series of waterfalls that Julie and I noticed from the toll station at the Felbertauern Tunnel.
The scenery here was simply too beautiful to ignore.
With that said, I made up the name of this page because I honestly don’t know what this place is called nor do I know the names of each of these waterfalls.
So what compelled us to pull the car over and spend some time looking at the scenery before us was that we saw at a minimum four waterfalls all spilling into a valley seemingly surrounded by glacial cirques.
Each of these cirques seemed to have fairly significant waterfalls coming down them.
Couple that with a U-shaped valley at the bottom, which was a classic tell-tale sign of a glacier that was once here, and it surprises me how motorists merely zoom past without even a thought to stopping and enjoying the scenery.
Maybe most are Austrian locals perhaps jaded by seeing such beauty on a daily basis and hence taking them for granted?
I think only Julie and I were the only ones who stopped and tried to bask in the scenery on the morning of our visit.
Speaking of the pullout, we pulled over at the defunct Gasthaus Höhe Tauern, where there was a huge empty lot at the uppermost hairpin turn (a short distance downhill from the Felbertauerntunnel toll station).
From the photos and videos on this page, you can see what we’ve seen in ways that words simply cannot describe…
