Hiking

This is where the water that seeped into the alpine pastures above comes to the surface.

Hiking

It's not a spring in the traditional sense, but rather a headwaters area (slope, see photo), where the water converges on the clayey subsoil to the edge of the forest and then rises to the surface. This is where one of Bavaria's longest wild rivers begins its journey to its mouth in Lake Chiemsee in Schafwaschener Bay. A beautiful hiking trail leads from the source to the mouth.
