Romai waterfall round, St. Jakob im Walde

Open
With the waterfall, the Arzberg and the moss-covered rocks, the Romai waterfall circuit is a very special experience for the whole family in the Joglland-Waldheimat region.
This loop is ideal for hot summer days: the wonderfully cool forests and the refreshing Romany Gorge, named after the early Roman settlement of this region, create a pleasant hiking climate. The waterfall and the Winkelbach stream offer young and old the opportunity to cool off in the crystal-clear water. Starting from the village center, the tour leads towards Romai, on to the Arzberg and back to St. Jakob after a refreshment stop at the hut.
