The 40-meter-high Schleierfall waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in South Tyrol. The waterfall, accessible by hiking, is a graceful cascade resembling a veil. The hiking route is fabulous, with breathtaking views of the surrounding Alps and the Grossglockner (since you're in its southern part). If you come here in summer, expect a higher water flow and a thick, powerful waterfall. By the way, the waterfall comes from the Staniskabach.
