September 3, 2021,Holzgau nach Roßgumpenalm über Hängebrücke und zurück über Simswasserfall

An elderly gentleman from Bad Nauheim joined our table on the Roßgumpenalm. In conversation it emerged that he will be celebrating his 91st birthday in the next few days. He has been coming to the Lechtal every year since 1964. On the alpine pastures he is known like a sore thumb, here we were witnesses ourselves. He used to go …

November 10, 2024,Zur Rossgumpenalm

Easy hike in the Lech Valley. Always along the water.

Today I took the chance again and enjoyed the weather comfortably from Holzgau with my wife. First through the shade of the Höhenbachtal gorge to the Simms waterfall. This currently has relatively little water but is no less worth seeing. There is also a small via ferrata facility here for …

June 20, 2025,🇦🇹 Lechtal - E5 Holzgau - Roßgumpenalp

Today we took the E5, which crosses the Lech Valley here, to the Roßgumpenalp. The first highlight was the Holzgau suspension bridge, which spans the Höhenbachtal gorge. Later, the path ran along the Höhenbach stream. It was simply breathtaking.

Hanssen's Waterfall was completely unexpected. It's somewhat hidden, and despite the sign, almost all the hikers walked right past it. They …

August 26, 2024,Holzgau - Rossgumpen Alm - Wasserfälle - Hängebrücke Holzgau

Super beautiful day!
We set off from the village square in Holzgau, always heading towards the RossgumpenAlm. First under the suspension bridge, with anxious glances upwards, then further uphill past the Simmsfall. Immediately after that was the start of the adventure climbing route - I have to do that.
We continued uphill and enjoyed the nature, beautiful flowers, chamois on …

August 9, 2023,Von Holzgau zur Roßgumpenalm

Unfortunately, after yesterday's glorious weather, the sun didn't come out today. But even bad weather deserves a chance 🙃
From Holzgau we walked to the Simms waterfall. We actually wanted to do the Holzgau via ferrata here. But with today's constant rain, we left it with a heavy heart and went on to the Roßgumpenalm. After a delicious refreshment, we …

June 2, 2024,Wasserfallwanderung über Holzgauhängebrücke zur Rossgumpen Alm (1329m)

Start from one of the free parking spaces in the village center of Holzgau.
The path initially leads under the breathtaking suspension bridge. The countless waterfalls shoot straight out of the gorge down the mountain to the Lech.
At the highest point of the route, you should definitely stop at the Rossgumpen Alm and fortify yourself before the return journey. …
