May 11, 2025,PMH-379 - Muttertagsspaziergang

A short walk on Mother's Day to the lower water chamber of the Rißloch Falls.

Today, the beautiful weather and Mother's Day celebrations drew a lot of visitors to the falls. The waterfalls are a magnet for a good time in sunny weather. For those who prefer a quieter experience at the falls, we recommend visiting early in the morning …

Well... in weather like this, only a short walk is possible. We took advantage of a rain-free window to get outside... today we headed from the center of Bodenmais to the lower water chamber of the Rißloch Falls and back via the Röhrlweg trail to the Klause hiking car park.

September 28, 2023,Von Bodenmais zu den Rißloch Wasserfälle

From Bodenmais via the spa park, past the JOSKA Glasarakden, to the Unterlohwies district. A narrow hiking trail begins at the edge of the forest through shady mixed forest and past a small stream.
Through the Rißloch gorge you go up to the Rißloch waterfalls. When you reach the top, you can feel the power of the water on the …

It's always a nice tour to the Rießloch waterfalls. However, this time I have to say that the early bird 🐦 would have been better off. If you start your journey too late, from 10 a.m. Then there is a lot going on there. Because it's not a wide hiking trail, but a trail. Which also has a step height …

April 23, 2024,PMH-178 — kleine Rieslochrunde im Schnee

Short hike to my all-time favorite... to the lower water chamber of the Riesloch Falls. There was still plenty of snow on the route from the past few days. Unfortunately, there was also some snow breakage. On the Röhrlweg, a whole tree stump with roots blocked the hiking trail. But luckily, it was possible to get around the obstacle.

February 2, 2025,PMH-322 — Eisig-Frostige Rießlochtour mit den Kid's

Today we went on an icy, frosty Rießloch tour (Untere Wasserstube) with the two "little" kids. The start and finish was the center of Bodenmais.
Our kids had a lot of fun again on the frozen ice surfaces (voluntarily without crampons 🙈... that's the best way to slide).
A nice little tour in sunny, but still icy, frosty temperatures.

March 19, 2025,PMH-346 - Rießlochrunde after work

A short hike from the center of Bodenmais to the lower water chamber of the Rießloch Falls.

Open the front door... and into nature. Well... it doesn't happen that quickly. But after 15 minutes from the center, you reach the Rießloch hiking car park. From there, I walked along the stream to the lower water chamber, which today was bathed …

February 9, 2024,PMH-138 — Recovery-Spaziergang - ins Riesloch

After work was done, today we went on a short recovery walk to the lower water area of the Riesloch Falls. Unfortunately still a bit battered... but finally out again.

There was a lot of water around the waterfalls here. Always a nice experience... and we haven't been there for a while. 😊
