A very strenuous but varied tour at over 30°C. You can park either at the train station or at the hiking car park near the wood chip power plant. To run this round the other way around, the coffee invites you to linger. On the way you pass the mountain cheese dairy, here you can also get ice cream or …

Made the Allgäu unsafe again today. From Oberstaufen we went to the Buchegger waterfalls. Actually, the nicer way would have been over the Hündlekopf... but first I was there last year and too lazy this year 🤭... and I didn't want to ride the gondola. So much of the road long and at Buchenegg in the forest. From there a …

In Bad Rain we missed the hiking trail, so we walked across the parking lot. Only asphalt from Oberstaufen to Steibis! The route back via Buchenegg is better

I've now followed a suggested tour. It's doable, but there are nicer tours. I met a lot of families who wanted to go to the Buchenegger Waterfalls. This is not advisable without good footwear and especially with small children. It's far too slippery at this time of year. Please note!

Since this evening I've been sitting in the caravan without electricity, if nobody gets a handle on it tomorrow, we'll go home again, the weather forecast is very mixed from Sunday anyway 😞🥺

September 14, 2023,Buchenegger Wasserfälle, eine Runde von Oberstaufen 👍🥾⛰️🤩🌦️☀️

We started this hike from Oberstaufen train station with quite a bit of drizzle🌧️later the sun came out a bit😉
So the hike turned into an adventurous, slippery, muddy scramble down to the Buchenegger waterfalls. Good mountain boots are highly recommended 🥾👍 and then we went uphill again on the other side. Definitely a worthwhile adventure ⛰️🥾🤩

Despite the not so great weather, it was a beautiful hike. Highly recommended, especially the descent to the waterfalls from Oberstaufen is an experience.
