Morro Dois Irmãos (Two Brothers Hill)

Morro Dois Irmãos is one of Rio de Janeiro's most accessible and visually rewarding trails, linking the Vidigal community with a granite peak overlooking the South Zone. The route is defined by its social-geographic transition—starting with a local transport ride through a residential favela followed by a steep but relatively short ascent through the Atlantic Forest. Unlike the more technical and remote Pedra da Gávea, this hike is a staple for fit beginners and sunset observers, providing a definitive overview of Ipanema, Leblon, and the nearby Corcovado massif.

The Krimml Waterfalls are the tallest in Europe, dropping 380 meters in three massive tiers from the Krimmler Ache glacial river. The waterfall trail (Wasserfallweg) is a historical path that climbs alongside the falling water, offering multiple viewpoints (Kanzeln) where you can feel the spray and the thunderous power of the water. Beyond the top fall, the trail opens into the stunning Krimmler Achental, a classic U-shaped glacial valley that leads toward the high peaks of the Reichenspitz group.
