Kuhflucht Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

Ascent to Hohen Fricken possible, but very steep and recommended only with sturdy shoes. When wet, it is not recommended. It is already a mountain tour and no more walk as the waterfalls.

August 12, 2021,Von Farchant zum Gipfel Hoher Fricken 1940m ⛰️

Today I did my longest and highest tour so far. 💪 Luckily I started from the parking lot at 8 a.m. to avoid the great heat. Past the Kuhflucht waterfalls to the ascent with over 50% gradient which was really violent. The water just ran off my face and the towel was worth gold. In front of me someone turned …

I had to climb a mountain again, it was nice :)
However, this mountain is a bit exhausting and I actually had to make a little effort. The partial rain made this Eeg extremely slippery and in the upper part there were still deep snowfields in which you sank up to your hips with every step. A great experience that …

June 26, 2022,Hoher Fricken, 1.940 m, über Kuhfluchtwasserfälle, Farchant

As always (Grazyna x3 and Tim x2) a beautiful lonely (met 2 people during 8 hours of hiking) tour 🌲🌻🌸, from Farchant, mostly through the forest, fresh and pleasant in the heat, steeply up; you quickly gain height for it. Up to the "Hohen Fricken" at 1,940 m has to be earned. This time (new path) down to Oberau over …

Beautiful autumn hike with an impressive view and a clear wind at the summit cross of the Hohen Fricken. There wasn't much going on today so it was an almost meditative round 🍂
