Equipment

Good equipment is essential for your hike. The following items should definitely be in your rucksack: - Food and drink - Functional clothing for rain, wind and cold - A change of clothes - Sun protection - First aid kit - Mobile phone with a full battery (Euro emergency number 112) - Hiking map or GPS - Hiking poles Nevertheless, the following applies: light luggage is also easier to carry, so you should not weigh down your rucksack with unnecessary ballast. In addition, your hiking equipment should of course also be adapted to your particular hiking tour.

Description

Your route starts at Gasthaus Bären on the left bank along the Höhenbach stream and takes you northwards over three bridges to the Simms waterfall.
A steep climb awaits you up to the waterfall, where you will reach Café Uta within 5 minutes.
Continue along the Höhenbach stream through shady forest and sunny forest clearings. At the end of the valley is the beautiful Rossgumpenalm.
Take the same route back to Café Uta and then follow the signpost "Schiggen - Hängebrücke". First walk up to the ascending forest path to the junction for the suspension bridge, from there take a narrow path downhill to the suspension bridge, which you cross.
Now just walk down the asphalt path and you are back in the centre of Holzgau.
