April 16, 2023,Wasserfälle – Rissfälle Runde von Grünbach

What's not to like in the Vogtland 😉 short hike to the Riss Falls near Grünbach, also suitable for teenagers with "hiking allergies 🙈. The paths are nothing special, the forest 🌲🌳 but very beautiful, we saw a birch grove, a spot with a lot of wild gorse and there are small watercourses everywhere.
