Pretty little waterfall where you can cool off your feet, as the watercourse is easily accessible in several places. After it rains it's certainly even more impressive.

If you want to get to the waterfall itself, you have to climb down an embankment. However, the waterfall and the inlet can be easily reached from above via a trail.

Unfortunately, the place is no longer an insider tip. When the weather is good, you can easily meet up to 20 people there. Unfortunately, some people also leave their rubbish behind, which is a shame.

Beautiful forest tour without cyclists 🚴‍♂️ at the end the waterfall is the highlight 😊
The descent is very slippery, I did it a little bit on my bottom 🤭 There is a parking lot at the train station 🚂

A nice tour in itself, but after 3/4 of the tour, the paths are very difficult to walk on due to landslides and bad weather. If you then continue, the road is blocked off with warning tape and an information sign. "Pedestrians at your own risk" it says. I would have been very happy if there had been an earlier …

The Junginger Giess or the hamlet of Schrofen is by far not as high as other well-known waterfalls, but the Starzel is said to be much more impressive than some higher waterfalls, especially when there is a lot of water. The water thunders down the valley over a steep step of eight meters.
Be careful when descending into the gorge …
