Wonderful hike in the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park, Bavaria.
The hike leads from Buchenegg Straße, which leaves the village of Buchenegg to the south, to the roaring Buchenegger waterfall. At the starting point there is a toilet and a water connection. The mighty layers of rock that accompany the hike along the way can only be overcome at two narrow points. With tremendous force and a loud roar, the water falls down the rocks twice from 10 meters - wonderfully clear and foaming! It is possible to take a bath in the Weißach stream at the end of the hike.
Highlights:
- Water falls
- Bathing in the Weißach
