Höchfall 🤩

Highlight • Waterfall

Waterfall in the Rotbachtobel, probably the largest and most beautiful waterfall for miles around. Access via a new, steep but well-made path, same way back.
The Höchfall is a first-class highlight, absolutely worth seeing 🤩🤩🤩

Fuchslochtobel

Rustic ravine between Walzenhausen and Sankt Margrethen, in which a jungle atmosphere arises. A narrow bridge leads over the stream, which cascades down over a rock face in a kind of waterfall.

Even now (June 26) during the current dry spell, a very impressive and beautiful waterfall in the wild gorge.

The Steinach River's gradient has been used by the town's mills since ancient times. The Mühleggbahn, opened in 1893 as a water-ballast cable car, was later converted first into a cog railway and then into an inclined lift. It covers a distance of 323 meters and overcomes a height difference of approximately 70 meters.

The highest point was very impressive, although there was not much water this time, but the descent and ascent to the waterfall and then the descent to the upper reaches above the waterfall were also very impressive.

Wild, beautiful, shady, simply impressive and beautiful. Access is well earned via the descent of over 300 steps, some of which are quite high. The descent and ascent are generally very well prepared.
