The Grawa Waterfall in the Stubai Valley has a drop of 180 m and is the widest waterfall in the Eastern Alps. It is part of the first stage of the Stubai Wild Water Trail (WildeWasserWeg) and can be reached in just a few minutes on foot. A large viewing platform has been built in front of the waterfall, from which the impressive drop can be observed in peace and comfort.

To combine a visit to the waterfall with a short hike, it is a good idea to park a little further down (i.e. in front of the waterfall if you are driving towards the Stubai Valley Glacier). From there you can hike along the river Ruetz to the waterfall in about 25 minutes. The parking lot is on the left of the road just before an underpass and is impossible to miss.
The Grawa Waterfall is also worth a visit in winter when it is partially frozen. But be careful! The paths to the waterfall are icy in winter and can only be used at your own risk.
