For clarification: there is no village called Milchhausen. The sign "Milchhäuschen" belongs to a farm where you can buy milk etc. from a vending machine.

Well, a massive concrete fish ladder that then merges into an artificial stream and flows into the Wertach River. Nice with dogs and kids.

A cozy, somewhat hidden path leads down to the Wertach along the fish ladder. At the end there is a little scramble over rocks. Also nice for children
