Follow a stairway through the stunning scenery of torrential cascades. 

From the Silberkarklamm car park, an impressive ascent leads along the roaring forest stream. Easily accessible via steps. Waterfalls, vertical cliffs, flowers (especially many gold auricles in spring) and the wildly romantic scenery in the gorge and in the cirque make this hike very interesting for families. Also recommended when the weather is not very nice. The Silberkarhütte is located in the middle of the Kar. From the Silberkarhütte Höhenweg as the way back: to the left of the hut, a challenging and somewhat exposed path leads along the slope, reaches a great vantage point and then leads as a real "Wurzelsteig" narrow and steep downhill in the forest to the wayside cross, from there turn left back to the gorge entrance.
