The Rohntalalm is not open to the public, but you can refill your water. A beautiful alpine pasture and relatively quiet, with a beautiful panorama of the Grabenkarspitze, the eastern Karwendelspitze, and the Vogelkarspitze (from east to west). Easily accessible via a simple forest road (quite steep for eco-bikers).

The Dalfazer waterfall is by far the highest waterfall on Lake Achensee. The water plunges over 60 meters into the depths. This is an impressive natural experience, especially after the snow melts in early summer. You have a great view of the waterfall from a wooden viewing platform. The via ferrata is to the right of the waterfall.
