    Hiking

    Dear community,
    please observe the local signage and do not enter the forest area so that the vegetation can regenerate undisturbed. Thank you very much for your consideration and your valuable contribution to protecting nature!

    Hiking

    Very nice route, although exhausting but man has NEN all day time if you go early, you can go the tour quite relaxed with children and arrive on time at the Wasseralm.
    But beware of vertigo!

    Hiking

    Approximately 470 meters, the Röthbach falls on the mountain flank in the depth and is thus Germany's highest waterfall.
    If you want to Röthbach waterfall, you have to translate from Schönau am Königssee by boat to Salet.
    If you walk from the pier in the direction of Obersee, you can see in the background the Röthbach waterfall.
