Origin, history, use

The actual gorge with the waterfall falling over several cascades is about 280 meters long, the difference in height is about 100 meters, with the individual cascades having a maximum drop of 20 meters. Immediately after the last cascade, the stream flows into the Erlauf. The gorge runs from northeast to southwest. The underground of the gorge consists of limestone . A well-developed and popular hiking trail leads through the gorge. The entrance to the gorge can only be reached on foot and is located 2000 meters east of the parking lot on the cul-de-sac from Gaming and 1600 meters southwest of the street from Puchenstuben .

In 1897 the way to the Trefflingfall was opened. This was built by the Scheibbser Mountain Association.
