July 9, 2025,Salet -Obersee- Röthbachwasserfall- Salet- St. Bartholomä

The Salet-St. Bartholomä route is challenging, but a pleasure for experienced hikers with a head for heights and the appropriate equipment.

Contrary to the instructions of the boat drivers, the tour can be hiked well from St. Bartholomä - you only need GPS because this is not signposted to Salet (especially at the junction after the ascent). The bridge between the waterfalls and the view to Salet are impressive

Return then from Salet (note the last departure)
