May 31, 2025,Lainbachwasserfall - Runde von Kochel

Finally in our new home, and with this weather, we naturally had to explore our new surroundings. A lovely hike from Kochel to the Lainbach Waterfall and back via the Kohlleiten. Finally, a delicious piece of cake at Cafe König. We did everything right today 😉👍
