Take time to visit the historic centre of Salurn after the hike. The waterfall is especially impressive after rainfall.

7, 14, or 31: When the first Ways of the Cross were built, there was a varying number of stations. In some places there were seven; in other places, 31 stations. Later, there was an agreement to always have 14.

The trail follows well-maintained paths. Some sections near the waterfall may be slippery when wet. Stay on the marked trails throughout the hike.

In view of the violent events of the preceding decades, one especially pious citizen of Salurn attending the so-called “Rigl Convocation” in May of 1718 made the proposal that a “Way of the Cross” with seven chapels and a Chapel of the Holy Sepulcher be built along the way to Buchholz. The proposal was accepted. In these chapels, believers could view scenes of the Passion of Christ. In 1786, in the context of the reforms conducted under Emperor Joseph II, the Chapel of the Holy Sepulcher was closed again, and the chapels fell into decay. It was only in 1902 that the owners (some of whom had, in the meantime, become private individuals) turned their attention to the chapels once more. Thanks to the efforts of the Salurn company of riflemen, these structures could be saved. Between 1980 and 1985, they carried out extensive restoration work on them

Today, a wonderful circular hike with great viewpoints and the Salurn waterfall experience runs here. Numerous information boards round off the work.
