The hike to the Weißenbach Walls is suitable for the whole family. The path along the stream and through the forest to the waterfall and the Weißenbach source is particularly appealing to children.

The first part is on a lonely country road to the Moser Chapel, from here turn right onto a forest road. Soon we turn onto a romantic path that takes us to the waterfall. On the way back, first on forest roads. Don't forget the detour to the original bench along the stream.
