September 16, 2025,Rotlech Wasserfall – Rotlechfall Wasserfall Runde von Rinnen

A beautiful hike, starting with the Rotlech waterfall, followed by a walk around the Rinnen reservoir.
The only drawback: the first and last few meters are quite steep on a paved road, but otherwise the tour is very beautiful!

Started the first day of vacation with a great hike 😊. Found the Rotlechschlucht and the Rotlechwasserfall and then went to the Rotlechstausee. The way there wasn't exhausting, but only in the sun ☀️ and at 30 degrees in the shade. The way back was much more demanding, but characterized by views and alpine paths. A great day that ends …
