Zauberwald and Hintersee

Reviewed By harolde254 - Lebanon, United States

Recommend driving past Hotel at back of Hintersee, you can park at beginning of trail for Free (! a rarity). A pleasant walk through a forest and along a river with wonderful views of Schärtenspitze and Steinberg mountains. Moss covered bolders and trees, Alpine flowers, mushrooms. We gathered lunch as are knowlegable about them. Also saw some dangerous ones. Various lake side views have easles with copies of paintings from that perspective. About 5 1/2 miles total. Easy walking except for one section, would be do-able for families with children.

Hollentalklamm

Reviewed By benavidez_dab - Wiesbaden, Germany

I think an important thing to know about getting to the entrance is that it’s a bit of an uphill hike. Not a difficult hike but you just don’t arrive at the entryway via a short walk from the parking area. Prepare to get wet along the way. I didn’t get drenched but I definitely should have worn a raincoat. The trail itself is well kept while in the canyon and tunnels. It can get somewhat crowded but it wasn’t uncomfortable for me. It could be loud due to the roaring water. Once out of the tunnels it was about another 20 uphill minutes to the restaurant at the end of the trail. The restaurant had clean restrooms. The view of the glaciers is amazing. Another import thing to know is the hike to the gondola isn’t easy and somewhat intimidating. My friends and I hiked to it and we saw a lot of inexperienced hikers struggling. If you plan on hiking to Alpspitz ensure you have plenty of water and food.

Only a 10 km drive away you can discover the Canopy Walkway at the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Hainich National Park. Walk in the tree tops up to 24 meters in height or climb the viewer tower with 44 meters. Insights into the biospheres offer the National park exhibition and the latest milestone the “Root hole”.

Wasserfallsteig

Reviewed By 123richardz - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

After walking a nice, bit busy with other tourists, trail that is relatively steep and nicely maintained, that follows the little stream upwards you reach this very nice waterfall. You can get to the bottom of the fall by some steps and you can even get in behind the fall by climbing the last 20 meters of rock.
