Getting to Traunfall by car is straightforward. From Linz, take the A1 towards Salzburg, from where you'll take the exit for the B144, which will lead you directly to Traunfall. Parking is available near the starting point of the circular trail, so you'll only have a few steps to the natural spectacle. The journey takes about an hour, depending on traffic conditions.

By public transport 🚌🚉

The Traunfall is also accessible by public transport. From Linz main station, you can take a train to Roitham station. From there, there are regular bus connections that will take you close to the Traunfall. However, please note that the final section of the journey must be made on foot, which is a small adventure in itself.

A visit to Traunfall – our personal highlight 🌟

Our trip to Traunfall was a complete success, even if the location isn't the first choice for extensive hikes. What makes Traunfall so special, however, are the countless opportunities to experience and capture nature in all its glory 📸🚁. We were able to take some breathtaking photos, had fun flying the drone, and thoroughly enjoyed the unique atmosphere.

The Traunfall might not be a classic hiking destination, but it provides the perfect setting for a relaxed end to a hiking tour in the surrounding area. A combination of exploring the nearby trails (be sure to check out our great hiking tips at www.muatsdrawig.at) and a final visit to the Traunfall is therefore particularly recommended. Here you can unwind, reminisce about the day's experiences, and let the natural spectacle wash over you. In short, the Traunfall is a must-see for any nature and photography enthusiast wanting to discover the beauty of Austria. 🏞️✨
