Rieslochfälle and Schweikl Ruhe from Bodenmais-Klause

The route begins at the Klause trail entrance and leads explorers deep into the rugged wilderness surrounding the Riesloch gorge. Dense woodland surrounds the trail as it follows the tumbling mountain streams toward the iconic waterfalls. After the steady incline along the water, the trail reaches the quiet clearing at Schweiklruhe, offering expansive views of the surrounding hills, valleys, and distant mountain summits. The path then transitions onto the broader Arberhochstraße, providing a gentle walk back through quiet forest stretches. Good hiking shoes with solid traction help make the slippery sections and rocky paths near the gorge easy to navigate.
