Beautiful waterfall and a trail in very good condition. Only in this section there is no marked trail and you have to jump between rocks.

We were there today and can only assume it's a nice hike. The access road from the southern end of the lake is practically impassable and only good for hiking, unfortunately. We'll try again another time.

An impressive sight even in winter with little water. Be careful of breaking ice!

You should really come here when the Schreyenbach actually has water - this is only the case for 45 days a year, from June 18th to August 2nd when the waterfall can be admired in all its glory. (https://glarnerland.ch/de/map/detail/schreyenbachfall-d847ff81-2e0e-4fbe-8c5e-b68cbd4ce992.html)

A little down (narrow, steep forest path, just under 1 minute) from the road on the eastern shore of the Wägitalersee, the Ziggenbach flows imposingly in a short "canyon" into the lake.

The almost silent waterfall in Tierfed. The Schreyenbach Falls used to be a natural attraction known throughout Switzerland. He has been silent since 1964, when the Linth-Limmern power plant went into operation. One version literally blew the water out of him. The water of the Fisetenbach, which rises in the canton of Uri and feeds the Schreyenbachfall, is collected for the purpose of generating electricity, i.e. withheld from the Schreyenbachfall. After objections, however, the natural spectacle can still be followed 45 days a year. The Schreyenbachfall presents its impressive natural spectacle every year between June and August. Feeding of the Schreyenbach Falls: Start: June 18, 2:00 p.m. - End: August 2, 2:00 p.m
