Here, you'll enjoy a magnificent view of the wild waterfall and deep into the rocky gorge, while the turquoise-blue Karwendel stream rushes through the Wetterstein limestone. Benches along the trail invite you to take a rest.

Isar River Source (Isarursprung) in the Hinterau Valley

Highlight • River

The clean river is sometimes almost torrential over the wide gravel banks. In connection with the Karwendel mountains, this is a wonderful photo motif and you can hike directly on the shore.
