December 10, 2022,Wanderung zum Hochfall bei Bodenmais

Hello,
This time we went to the Hochfall, which, as I can tell, is a hotspot near Bodenmais, where you can bathe in the circular waterfall pool 🛀 in a photogenic way.
Unfortunately, this was not the case with temperatures around freezing point 🧊, so we were pretty much alone there.
Nevertheless, the short hike is highly recommended.
