A not-so-well-known, but beautiful and not-so-small waterfall in the forest. A highlight.

A beautiful stream valley starting in Tegernsee and directly outside of Tegernsee. Easy to reach.

The Siebli waterfall. Small but beautiful, in a hidden place.

Wonderful to see how the creek meanders down. We always make a detour here.

When I was looking for special excursion destinations on Lake Tegernsee, I found the Rottach Falls. The special waterfall is in Rottach-Egern, more precisely above the district of Enterrottach. If you drive on the Enterrottach toll road in the direction of Sutten, the Rottachfall is on the right.
