Rießloch

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

A beautiful area where hiking is great fun. The Rissloch waterfalls are an absolute highlight that you should see and experience.

Please note that there may still be snow in places until the end of April and the beginning of May.
So always pay attention to good shoes

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.

Beautiful hiking trail that can be completed with younger kids

Surefootedness required and a certain basic level of fitness. It is worth it :)

The Riesloch Gorge with its waterfalls is always worthwhile, especially for children this hike is very varied and interesting. There is a lot to discover.

Nice little hiking tour with stage destination of the waterfalls. Definitely worth a trip and suitable for both experienced and inexperienced hikers.

Great route, not suitable for prams!

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!

You have to see great waterfalls :)

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

Especially in winter you can take fantastic pictures.
But CAUTION in winter you should definitely have Grödl with you.

Great hiking trail along the creek

Beautiful area, unfortunately often overcrowded.

Over stick and over stone 😉

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.
