Europe’s highest waterfalls drop 380 metres in three stages over moss-slicked granite into the Salzach Valley; the sheer volume of water creates a permanent cloud of ionised spray; hike to the middle fall at 9 am when the light creates rainbows in the mist; the roar of the water is so intense it vibrates in the soles of your boots; the air feels heavy and electrically charged.
