Geratser Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The waterfall is easily accessible, we couldn't understand why everything is blocked off by cow fences.
Please pay attention to the signs and do not climb outside the specified paths.

Lake Rottach

Highlight • Lake

A beautiful, clear lake in which even regularly dived. In addition to some swimming areas, there is also a campsite, a boat rental and, as everywhere, where there is a lot of wind, even windsurfers.

I don't recommend walking to them, unfortunately. The waterfalls are beautiful and so is the Rottachspeicer, but it's just a trek on a tarmac road. So it's better to drive straight to the waterfalls or take the bike.

It's actually a nice tour, but unfortunately you have to walk on asphalt along the side of the road for the last stretch.

Am anfang war der radl highway etwas unschön und mit kindern anstrengend. Dann kam die strasse mit teilweise viel verkehr ohne gehweg. Die wasserfälle sind schön. Wir haben die route dann verlassen, ohne beachreibung haben wir viel schönere und wander geeigneite wege gefunden, war dann noch recht schön. Dafür brauche ich keine wandekarte und website
