- Schiessentümpel Waterfall & Stone Bridge — the tiny but photogenic cascade framed by the old mossy stone bridge; it’s the trail’s signature shot and the reason so many people come here, especially when the light hits the spray just right.
- Tiered Cascades and Emerald Pool — a series of small drops that collect into a glassy pool below, where the sound of rushing water feels surprisingly loud and intimate; in spring the flow is punchy, in late summer the pool can mirror the canopy above.
