Small waterfall on the Scheibenbach, shortly before the confluence with the Riedbach, which then forms the Scheidegger waterfalls.

In 784 the name “wazzarburuc” appeared for the first time in a document from the monastery of St. Gallen. In the 10th century, this island fortress served as a refuge for the monasteries of St. Gallen. It is believed that between 925 and 955 the Hungarians dared to attack the St. Gallen monastery fortress Wasserburg with fire and sword, but this was possibly repelled despite a fire on the foothills. Traces of the excavations carried out in 1993 indicate this.[7] This document mentions a church of Saint George, which belongs to the monastery of St. Gallen. Until 1280, the Lords of Kisslegg, as ministerials of the monastery, were responsible for the rule of Wasserburg, then the rule went to the Lords of Schellenberg for 500 silver marks. They expanded Wasserburg into a fortress as a St. Gallen fiefdom (until 1826).

You can walk under the waterfall. But be careful - don't stay there for too long. The water splashes quite nicely

Overwhelming view of the Scheidegger waterfalls

Although lying on the (quiet) district road, it is a beautiful place with a view of the Schleinsee estate with the court chapel and the private Schleinsee. There are also benches above the farm near the water reservoir with a great view of Lake Schlein and Lake Constance, including the Säntis massif.

The small waterfall can be reached on a level path and very close.

Very nice waterfalls and well prepared for families. The biotope is very important.

The Waldsee in Lindenberg in the Allgäu is one of the highest German moor lakes (765.4 meters). The lake was dammed in the Middle Ages for fish farming and used to operate a sawmill from the mid-18th to the early 20th century. During this time the lake wore i.a. the name saw pond. In 1905, tourist development began with the construction of a bathing establishment and an inn, and in the 1920s the name was changed to Waldsee for better marketing. In 1952, the restaurant got its current appearance during the conversion to a hotel according to plans by Ernst Pfeiffer. Since then, there have been paintings about the history of Lindenberg in the guest rooms inside. Large parts of the shore were redesigned between 2006 and May 2008, replacing the old bathing facility on the north shore with a new building on the same site that is accessible free of charge. Since then, a moor nature trail around the lake has provided information about ecological and economic factors relating to the moor and the peat extraction that has been practiced here for a long time. As a peat extraction area, the Waasemoos around the Waldsee played an important role in the energy supply of Lindenberg's production companies for a long time. In addition, a bathing facility in Lindenberg used the water from the surrounding moor as healing water. Source: Wikipedia.
