Two wonderful hikes to the waterfalls of St. Aegyd right at the foot of the Göller

Easy to walk and in the fall you think you are in the Dolomites because of the rock of the Göller.

Equipment
Sturdy footwear
Route description
Ahornhof – Waterfalls The Ahornhof is located about 2.5 km west of Kernhof on the federal highway. Parking is available here. Now follow the farm road toward the clearly visible tower wall. After about 200 m (signpost), cross the bridge.
- PATH TO THE LARGE WATERFALL:
After crossing the bridge, follow the channeled torrent to the edge of the forest, then continue along the right-hand branch of the trail into the woods. The wide footpath climbs gently and narrows to a narrow trail after about 500 m. This is also where the torrent control structures begin. Climb over each of these structures on their left side (as you walk) and continue until you reach a small hilltop where the waterfall first comes into view. You can walk all the way to the base of the waterfall.
Time required from the Ahornhof to this point : 3/4 hour.
- PATH TO THE SMALL WATERFALL:
After the bridge, follow the left path. Walk about 700 m into the valley until, on the right, a faintly marked trail through sparse forest leads over a gently rising scree cone toward the steep slopes rising in the background. From here, it’s only about 10 minutes to the waterfall.
Time required from the Ahornhof to the waterfall: 3/4 hour

How to reach us:
- From the west, north, and western Vienna:
Take the A 1 to St. Pölten, then the B 20 to Freiland; turn left there and continue on the B 214 for another 20 km. From St. Aegyd, continue on to Kernhof and from there to the Ahornhot
- From the east and southern Vienna:
Take the A 23 to the Mayerling exit, then head toward Hainfeld, over the Hafnerberg onto the B 18 to Traisen, then toward Mariazell to Freiland; turn left there and continue 20 km on the B 214. From St. Aegyd, continue on to Kernhof and from there to the Ahornhot
- From the south:
Either drive to Mariazell and then take the B 21 for 30 km to St. Aegyd—you’ll find the Ahornhof just before reaching St. Aegyd—or take the A 2 to Wöllersdorf and continue on the B 21 for another 61 km to St. Aegyd.
