Ridnauntal lies inconspicuous, mysteriously winding through lush meadows and dense forests. But don’t let the tranquillity fool you, at the head of the valley, in Maiern, an extraordinary natural spectacle is hidden: the Burkhardklamm gorge with its two striking waterfalls.

Hike for around 45 minutes along the panorama trail, which offers you impressive viewpoints of the mountain world of the Stubai Alps. Once you have arrived at the waterfalls, there is only one thing left to do: close your eyes and let yourself be covered in the cool mist!

Power Source Water – Scientifically Proven

What feels so beneficial also has a proven effect on body and mind. A pilot study conducted by the Paracelsus Medical Private University in Salzburg confirms: spending time in the Burkhard Gorge demonstrably promotes overall well-being, improves breathing quality, and strengthens the immune system.

This is due to the exceptionally high concentration of finely atomized, electrically charged waterfall ions – also known as “vitamins of the air.” These natural airborne particles have a stress-reducing, purifying, and revitalizing effect. Combined with movement and conscious breathing exercises along the trail, they promote positive emotions, inner calm, and renewed life energy. Studies on comparable waterfalls also show clear benefits for allergy and asthma sufferers.
