A beautiful walking path along the Salzach River; partly unpaved and untouched. Beyond the Kreuzfelsen rock, the trail was blocked because trees had fallen.

Beautiful but monotonous if you drive along for a while. Here, the Inn River is already very "embedded."

Nagelfluh can only form near the surface in this area, as this is where the pebbles from the glaciers were deposited. Nagelfluh rocks that are "below", e.g. the Kreuzfelsen, have broken down from the Nagelfluh cover, which is around 50 - 80 m higher there, because the Salzach has "undermined" it.
