Giessenfall Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

A rather impressive waterfall of the Giessenbach for this region, accessible via a very traily (at best slippery when wet) path. The path leads up a rather steep and narrow staircase along the side of the waterfall to the upper level. Incidentally, it's completely unsuitable for biking and not recommended.

View from Schallenberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from Schallenberg is truly spectacular; the climb is well worth it. At a crossroads, you can walk to a small Lourdes grotto.

Especially the two fords are very interesting because there are bridges as an alternative.
