The path to the waterfall is a beautifully landscaped path, it doesn't look as good on pictures as it does in real life.

A visit to the waterfalls is highly recommended on a snowshoe trail in Menscheschwand. The waterfalls and the path through the small gorge are illuminated in the evenings during the winter months. A nice highlight not far from the trail.

The waterfalls are an absolute highlight. You can explore them via well-paved paths and bridges that lead up to the waterfall. In the evening they are even occasionally illuminated in summer, which is really beautiful.

Those who come from above on foot do not have to pay an entrance fee. Other visitors who came from below by car and parked had to pay EUR 2 - but thought that was an entrance fee, not a parking fee. Better to ask the tourist information beforehand, they know their way around.
