Bridge over the Kuhfluchtgraben

Wonderful hike. Also great to go with children. Our three-year-old made it through without any problems.

Kneipp Basin at Kuhfluchtgraben

Highlight • Rest Area

This wonderfully refreshing Kneipp pool with clear mountain water is a treat for feet tired from hiking.
Highly recommended!

Very worthwhile destination, nice path to the waterfall and the view from the bridge is great. If you go up to the top you can see the hole in the …

Two benches directly at the Kuhfluchtgraben on a waterfall. A small information board about the fossilized sludge can be found here.

Kuhflucht Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

Ascent to Hohen Fricken possible, but very steep and recommended only with sturdy shoes. When wet, it is not recommended. It is already a mountain tour and no more walk as the waterfalls.

Hoher Fricken summit (1,940 m)

Highlight • Summit

Beautiful outlook on GAP and the Zugspitze. Steep departure to the cow curse waterfalls. Surefooted safety absolutely necessary, telescopic poles are very useful.

Great tour, steep climb, strenuous but no difficult sections. Walked all day in the sun above the clouds. ☀️☀️☀️ Fantastic.

Crazy ideas should be put into action right away.

So, last night I took the night ICE train (delayed, of course) from Erfurt to Munich and then the regional train to Farchant. Sleep was out of the question, unfortunately 🙈

July 4, 2026,Wanderung 04.07.2026 (GAP Kuhfluchtwasserfälle & Hoher Fricken)

We actually just wanted to walk to the Kuhfluchtwasserfälle... in the end, we were standing on the Hohen Fricken (1940m above sea level) and had experienced a steep, very demanding, but beautiful tour. From the front door to the summit. You should have sure-footedness and no fear of heights if you do this tour. It was really very demanding. Narrow …

June 14, 2024,Farchant >Kuhflucht-Wasserfälle > Hoher Fricken 1940m

Today I wanted to climb a little less. Yesterday's climb was still in my legs. The path past the Kuhflucht waterfalls felt like it had a 50° gradient and I was a bit exhausted. And I honestly wanted to give up after climbing 300 meters. It wasn't so bad that it would be dangerous and I wouldn't be able to …

This tour requires surefootedness and alpine experience. Once at the top, you'll be rewarded with a magnificent view. A challenging but incredibly beautiful tour.

Very demanding tour (black). Hardly any stretches that offer a little rest. (The time estimate is completely unrealistic! We were on the road for almost eight hours.)

November 18, 2023,Hoher Fricken (1940m) Winter - Überschreitung

Start from the train station in Farchant, free! The steep 1300m climb to the Fricken via the Kuhwandel Falls. Snow started at around 900m. From around 1200m there is already around 30cm of fresh snow. From 1500m around 40-50cm. Great snowy landscape with fresh snow from Friday. At the summit there was some very deep snow due to drifts. Weather …

Great view of the Zugspitze

Ascent: From the parking lot of the warm outdoor pool Farchant we walk a short distance back on the road to the beginning of the forest adventure trail. We follow them on the trail to the "secrets of nature" in the direction of the Kuhflucht waterfall.
