Apart from altitude meters, nothing here is correct with Komoot. 🤦‍♀️Time is not and average is not

Today I was on the Hochfall-Riesloch combination tour, it is an official tour that is very well signposted (bo64 -Wild Water)!
The tour begins at the town hall in Bodenmais and takes you first to the Hochfall and then into the Riesloch Gorge!
Due to the melting snow higher up, the two falls are currently very rich in water!
Despite …

Pleasant circular hike without any significant ascents or descents to two waterfalls worth seeing. Also possible in bad weather.
Unfortunately without a stop on the way.

Quite a lot of water on the paths...but the waterfalls were very impressive.

A beautiful loop to the Hochfall Waterfall and then to the Riesloch Waterfall. The trail is highly recommended and especially pleasant in hot weather, as it mostly leads through the forest. On the way back, a stop at Adam Bräu is worth it! Excellent beer, and the food looks fantastic too!

In wonderful hiking weather, I first went to the Rißloch Falls (or Riesloch Falls), the largest waterfalls in the Bavarian …

I haven't seen any waterfalls in the Bavarian Forest until today! A description from a Komoot colleague caught my attention. So we drove to Bodenmais up the Rieslochweg to the hiking car park. Today, Tuesday, we had no problem finding a parking space. We walked down to the left of Bodenmais to the Hochfall. I was impressed by the natural …
