The Gainfeld Wasserfall sits above Bischofshofen in Salzburg province’s Pongau district, a short hike through forested limestone gorge from the valley floor. Free and always accessible; best flow in late spring from snowmelt. Bischofshofen is 45 minutes by train from Salzburg on the main southern rail line. Combine with a walk through the town, which sits at the Salzach and Muehlbach confluence and hosts one of the World Cup ski jumping stages each January. Closed-toe shoes for the rocky path.

Gainfeld Wasserfall
The Gainfeld Wasserfall drops through a narrow gorge above Bischofshofen in the Pongau region of Salzburg province, a short walk from the valley floor that feels considerably wilder than the approach suggests.
