The Riesbach, which flows together from several streams, falls into the valley at a total height of 55m as Riesloch Falls through the gorge called Riesloch. In the upper part, electricity has been generated by the power of water since 1908. The Riesloch Falls are a wonderful natural spectacle in the middle of vegetation that is reminiscent of a jungle.

Sometimes calm... sometimes wild and impetuous... this is how the Rissbach flows through the Rissloch Gorge. Impressive after snowmelt or heavy rainfall.

Really always a highlight and a must in the Bavarian Forest. But BEWARE in winter. It can be very slippery and icy so good footwear and I would recommend taking gear with you to be on the safe side. Have fun

The crack hole near Bodenmais has been a nature reserve since 1939. The 32.9 hectare area is a special natural experience and is one of the highlights in the Arber region. In the Rißloch, the Arberbach, Schwellbach, Kleinhüttenbach and Wildauerbach unite to form the Rißbach. The streams cascade down the Rissloch Gorge in five sliding main stages. The natural spectacle is particularly impressive during heavy rain or after the snow has melted.
