June 4, 2023,BayW 16 Über die Rißlochfälle zum Mittagsplatzl, dann zum Großen und Kleinen Arber

Today a tour that has been on my list for a long time 😀 The Riesloch Falls are always worth a visit, but nobody wanted to hike to the Mittagsplatzl! Today it finally worked out with the power of our colleagues 😀 At the end of the tour we really couldn't see any more stones 😅🙈 but otherwise a really …

The hike to the Grosser Arber via the Rißloch Falls is an easy hike, but the ascent is sometimes steep and strenuous. The path leads over roots and stones through the shade of the forests of the national park and culminates in a breathtaking view from the Grosser Arber down to the surroundings of the Bavarian Forest and far into …

This tour was under a bad star!
This morning, I described my plans to the guesthouse...hmm, it won't work without a major detour, as the road and hiking trails from here directly to the Arber are closed...major clearing operation for dead trees...will take about 3 weeks 🫣😬.
Okay, then I'll drive to the cable car...no problem, there are plenty of …

June 26, 2023,16 Über die Rißlochfälle zum großen Arber - RWF Bayrischer Wald ⛰️

A beautiful and strenuous hike awaited us today on the large Arber. The tour we ran requires good physical condition and, above all, sure-footedness, since most of the paths and climbs are lined with many stones and granite blocks. The Rissloch waterfalls are an impressive natural spectacle that we can only recommend to everyone.
The great Arber has a very …
