After the two rainy nights quite a lot of water fell into the depths!
The access roads were quite soft and caution was called for!
Nevertheless, a great natural spectacle!

The descent from Buchenegg is not recommended for people who are not very sure-footed. Many ice surfaces. But otherwise very nice

.....after the phone started working again, we continued. We had to climb back up everything we had previously walked down. Very strenuous, but well-maintained. Once at the top, it was simply a simple walk through the alpine pastures – the view was magnificent.

Simply a hike to enjoy.

Also easy for the kids.

It was actually only supposed to be a short walk.
But then the paths became increasingly impassable, poorly secured.
And slippery when wet.
Very steep ascents and descents.
