Water Sports
The region offers several pools, including the swimming pool in Steinach am Brenner.

St. Magdalena. This pilgrimage church was built against and on the mountain and is only accessible on foot after a climb of about 1 hour. The Waterfall near Gasthof Feuerstein is also worth the visit, and the bridge across the waterfall is recommended.
