    Beautiful hiking trail with many loose stones, good shoes and sure-footedness are an advantage. 🥾

  • The hike to the Riesloch Gorge near Bodenmais is one of the most beautiful and impressive hikes in the Bavarian Forest. The 200 m high waterfalls are considered to be the highest in the entire Bavarian Forest.

  • The hike to the Riesloch Gorge near Bodenmais is one of the most beautiful and impressive hikes in the Bavarian Forest. The 200 m high waterfalls are considered to be the highest in the entire Bavarian Forest. This natural spectacle, surrounded by unspoilt mixed forests, should not be missed.

  • Really always a highlight and a must in the Bavarian Forest.
    But BEWARE in winter. It can be very slippery and icy so good footwear and I would recommend taking gear with you to be on the safe side.
    Have fun

  • Especially in winter it is a dream there, but you should definitely have Grödel with you.

  • You should definitely visit this area with the Riesloch waterfalls. I went jogging once and hiked with the family the next day. Very interesting for children! But also for the big ones!

  • At the highest point, the water falls 15 m below the surface. The hiking trail leads through the nature reserve right next to the Rissbach through the forest, the partly stony and slippery hiking trail requires good footwear and surefootedness. But you will be rewarded with impressive views of the beautiful Rissloch Falls

  • There are two ways to hike the Rissloch Falls, here the
    I recommend:

    The "comfortable" hike: Rissloch Falls from Schönebene
    Exciting tour without major climbs
    Starting point: Schönebene hiking car park / length: approx. 6.5 km / hiking time: 2 hours, 96 m elevation gain (easy)
    Hike from Risslochweg

  • Easy tour with children: The hiking trail is marked with the green 2, at the end of the forest road take the left path "Steiniger Weg" to the lower Wasserstube, cross the bridge and climb left at the waterfalls to the upper Wasserstube, over the upper bridge then down to the Descend past the waterfalls towards the parking lot.
    Difficulty level of the hike: moderately difficult hike with a normal level of fitness, but sturdy hiking boots are recommended because some of the paths are rocky and rooty. This short hiking route is also suitable for families with children
    Altitude difference on the hiking tour: a difference in altitude of approx. 220 meters has to be overcome.

  • Nice way, but in no way recommendable with snow, at most with snowshoes

  • In autumn it is a bit slippery due to the leaves and the running water, but with the support of hiking sticks it works perfectly.

  • The Riesloch Waterfalls are located c. 2 km northeast of Bodenmais.
    A beautiful tour is from bodenmais - through the gorge of the Riesloch falls on to the Großer Arber.
