Should look gigantic, especially during floods. Immediately afterwards the river flows through a narrow gorge. You can see everything from the pedestrian bridge.

Stuiben Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The best way is the way through the Stuibenfälle on a hot summer day. Then it's worth the jump in the cool wet. But do not forget the shoes. The sharp stones in the streambed hurt otherwise ;-)

July 9, 2024, Lechfall and Bust of King Maximilian II

A spectacular waterfall, a real highlight, will stay in your memory! Even though this dam was built in 1784-1787 to generate electricity, the Lechfall is and remains an unforgettable “nature experience”. One of the most famous sights in the region that should definitely not be missed on the tour. Worth seeing!

The Marienbrücke is the most popular viewpoint of Neuschwanstein Castle. Hundreds of people usually crowd here, taking pictures, posing, and enjoying the fabulous view. This is also the most famous photo spot around the castle with a fantastic view of the castle, its location, and with a view of the flat hilly landscape behind it.

Very nice circular hike possible via the Hermannsteig and Ministersteig. On a secured trail you will pass small and large waterfalls.

Despite the large number of tourists, the view from the Marienbrücke to Neuschwanstein Castle and the Pöllat Gorge is very worthwhile! The bridge is open again!

What should I wear or bring for a waterfall hike in Halblech?

For waterfall hikes, especially those involving uneven terrain or potential for getting wet, sturdy footwear is essential. If you plan to cool off in the water, like at Stuiben Falls, water shoes or old sneakers are advisable to protect your feet from sharp stones.

What makes the Lechfall unique among the waterfalls in the region?

The Lech Falls and the Bust of King Maximilian II is unique because it's a natural monument where the Lech river plunges twelve meters over five levels into the depths, then narrows into the Lechschlucht gorge. This gorge is the only one in the entire Bavarian Alpine region where a larger Alpine river still flows freely. The imposing weir built in the 18th century and the King-Max-Steg bridge also add to its historical significance.
