Schmelzwasserkanal Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Such small waterfalls are often found on this path.
But I would rather describe it as a meltwater channel.

November 9, 2024,🍁🍂Herbstliche Wanderung zum Riesenkopf ⛰️🏞️

Today ☀️ I used this little hike as an opportunity to grab a garbage bag and remove some of the garbage from nature 🌱. In the end, there was 200 g less garbage 🚮 on the giant head. Every little bit counts! There is no Planet B 🌍

April 6, 2025,Nachmittagsrunde auf den Großen Riesenkopf (1337m)

A highly recommended summit at this time of year.
Snow-free, dry path, sheltered from the wind, lots of flowers, deserted.
And if, like me, you don't start until 3:00 PM, it's worth extending the tour to include the Petersberg, the Rehkeitenkopf, a stop at Hohe Asten, and the Wolfsschlucht. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to do it today.
Still, a dream …

July 2, 2022,Von Flintsbach auf den Rehleitenkopf und Großen Riesenberg 🇩🇪

From the hiking car park in Flintsbach we went past the ruins of Falkenstein Castle to the Hohe Asten mountain inn. Then we went to the Rehleitenkopf and on to the Großer Riesenberg. Then the way led us back to the Asten, where there was a delicious cake. Then we hiked over the Petersberg back to the parking lot.

From the 🅿️Flintsbach ruins of Falkenstein to the Hohe Asten mountain inn, then on to the "Großer Riesenkopf" (Grosser Riesenkopf). The food at the inn is highly recommended. The view from the Riesenkopf is fantastic.
