The tour should have gone as it is called. But then the Alplochschlucht was closed, and the forestry administration also had the idea of closing the circular path around the lake due to work (but unfortunately you only find out when you are standing in front of it). The replanned tour via the small tarmac road and the next hiking …

Very nice tour, but there is currently a construction site and you have to walk on the road for some time. Not recommended for families with children. Otherwise nice walking paths and great views. The Staufensee offers many opportunities for a snack break

The path through the gorge is closed until autumn 2022 due to a construction site. The lake drained. So no waterfalls. The detour path then goes along a narrow but busy road.
I think it will be more attractive for hiking tours again from autumn.
