About Muhlbach Waterfall
The Muhlbach Waterfall (Mühlbachfall; meaning “Mill Creek Falls” or “Mill Brook Falls”) was visible in plain sight while strolling the main drag through the beautiful lakeside UNESCO World Heritage town of Hallstatt. While it was probably one of the most seen waterfalls in Austria given the sheer quantity of tourists overwhelming the town, it actually wasn’t all that obvious to get a better look at it.
The key was to walk uphill from the main drag either on the Oberer Marktplatz, Badergraben, or the Gemeindestiege starting at the well-photographed Marktplatz. It was at the upper parts of these inner walkways that I was able to go up the stairs of the Müllerstiege or a separate set of steps up the Oberer Marktplatz. The steps eventually led up to a hidden car park between a pair of tunnels with a nice view over the town towards the Hallstättersee as well as the Muhlbach Waterfall itself.
That panorama and car park was also known as the Parkterrase. You’d think that with a view like this, it would be crowded with tourists, but surprisingly, there weren’t that many around when I made my visit in the Summer of 2018. Indeed, most of the tour bus crowd was content to just walk the main drag, and thus that made this experience all the more satisfying.
Overall, the walk from the P1 car park (see directions below) to get up to this spot was about 2.2km round trip. It took me around 30-45 minutes total.
