It has its source at the confluence of several spring streams in the Enger Grund of the Hinterriß-Eng Nature Park in the Karwendel in Tyrol. A few kilometers north of Hinterriss, the wild river crosses the border with Bavaria and flows into the Isar at Vorderriss near the Sylvenstein reservoir. In order to increase the amount of water available for the Walchensee power plant, since 1951 the water from the Rißbach has been fed to the Niedernach power plant above the confluence with the Isar through the Rißbach tunnel, which is around seven kilometers long, and then channeled into the Walchensee.

Damn good to look at. You can hear the roar from afar, and you automatically stop on the bridge and marvel. Thanks to Hakko for the tip, well done and very informative. Worth a detour if not directly on the route!
