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

Weir of the Wertach reservoir. To the right of it there is a small stream that the fish can bypass. A footpath leads to the headland. A little climbing to get there.
