very nice small hike. You can park above the starting point all day for 5 euros. Bus stop at the starting point. The waterfall is really beautiful. The water shimmers green. A few daredevils balanced over the logs above the waterfall. Nice varied loop in the forest, across meadows and with beautiful views. 100% recommendation.

Today we arrived in Steibis, and since it hasn't rained yet, we went on a tour to the waterfalls 👍.
The paths are all easy, except for the descent to the waterfalls, where you have to be a bit careful when it's wet.
On the way back we had a delicious soup at Alpen Neugreuth😋.
It's supposed to rain tomorrow …

Keyword: "Pulse sometimes at its limit and at the end also a fight against calf and thigh cramps 🥵". After several months of Komoot winter break, …

Actually it was just supposed to be a first little local exploration. And then suddenly there was “Buchenegger Wasserfall” 1/2 hour. Only? Well then... head down to the waterfall 😃.

The roar announces him... and then suddenly I'm standing in front of him... The water is crystal clear and looks turquoise green. After a few moments of looking and enjoying, …

The last part of the descent/ascent to the waterfall is very muddy and slippery. There are also a lot of hikers on the way, which doesn't make it any easier to move along this section. The rest of the route is not as crowded, as there are different entrances and the paths are also wider.

I stole the tour 1:1 from @KISS. It was a wonderful tour. The landscape is unique and the waterfalls were amazing.

Nice tour from Steibis to the Buchenegger waterfalls and back.

Easy path to walk, a bit muddy in places, but otherwise well developed.

Various options for refreshments, but the alp closes at around 5 p.m. But afterwards there are various places to stop for refreshments in Steibis.
