Soyermühle and Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

From the spacious wooden bridge you have a beautiful view of the Ammer. Now and then you even see a few paddlers. The Soyermühle is privately owned, but simply nice to look at.

A very varied tour on great paths and trails with an unplanned tour through the Kammerl hydroelectric power plant.
The Scheibum (rock gorge of the Ammer River) is absolutely worth seeing.

Not recommended at this time, as large sections are still completely iced over.

A super beautiful hike. Totally varied, and we didn't meet many people along the way. It was quite strenuous for us, but definitely worth it.

Very nice and varied route.
It is challenging but always has great views. Lots of roots and stairs and if it has rained beforehand then it is very muddy and slippery, so it is better to go when the weather is nice. Since you walk a lot in the shade it is ideal for hot days.

The Ammer Gorge! In many sections, nature is still wild, sometimes unpredictable, and untouched, and can be explored on varied trails. Parts of it are also part of the Ammergau Meditation Trail!
Today, I headed northwest from the 🅿️ Trathweg (€5 day ticket) to descend into the gorge at the Soier Mill. My main goal was the Schleier Falls, which …

A wonderful, varied tour. Across meadows with the chirping of crickets, through the forest with the twittering of birds and down to the Ammer with the loud rushing of the water.
