This hike leads to a hidden natural gem at the foot of the Hochfelln: the Bergen waterfall (also known as the Weißachen waterfall).
From the starting point, the trail leads gently uphill along the Weißache river into the valley. A particular highlight is reaching the waterfall, which plunges over an overgrown rock face into a natural pool - a wonderfully cool place on hot summer days. In the surrounding mixed mountain forests of beech and fir trees, squirrels and grey wagtails can often be seen searching for food in the oxygen-rich waters of the Ache.
