Hiking in Ahrntal valley and Sand in Taufers/Campo Tures, Southtyrol

Experience a unique microclimate. Listen to the splashing of the water. Feel the cooling water drops on your skin. Enjoy a special atmosphere with the coloured light reflections in the sunshine.

Wild water that flows, foam and falls into abysses that have been flushed out by brute force of the nature for centuries. Light gets refracted in the drizzle. Explosion of water and colours. A breath-taking spetacle in every season.

Waterfalls Riva / Reinbach

An impressive drama of nature is offered by the three Rio di Riva waterfalls which can be reached starting out from the hamlet of Bad Winkel. The Rio di Riva waterfalls are located in the Vedrette di Ries-Aurina Nature Park and offer an impressive view of nature above all else in the summer. Fed by melted snow, the Rio di Riva plunges in three cascades over the rock cliffs into the depths, making it possible for visitors to experience the power of water with all of their senses.

The St. Francis'Path with the 10 meditational spots lines the path of the Reinbach waterfalls up to the Franziskus and Klara chapel.

A hike to the Riva-Reinbach waterfalls

Waterfalls are typically surrounded by a gentle mist of tiny water drops which cleanse the tissue of the respiratory system and lungs, providing great relief. Studies conducted by the Paracelsus Medical University in Salzburg have found the Reinbach/Riva waterfalls near Sand in Taufers/Campo Tures to be an ideal place to enjoy the soothing effect of an ion drizzle. Ions are particles with a negative electrical charge which are created when water hits a surface. After spending only one hour near the waterfall, test persons have shown a 30% increase in the cleansing rate of the upper respiratory tract, while their perceived breathing quality went up by 24% and subjective stress levels decreased by over 50%.
