Kuhflucht Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

Ascent to Hohen Fricken possible, but very steep and recommended only with sturdy shoes. When wet, it is not recommended. It is already a mountain tour and no more walk as the waterfalls.

Start at the parking lot of the Kuhwandel waterfalls at around 4:20 a.m. Snow on the north side from around 1600 m. I climbed up and down without any problems or sticks.
