I had planned just two long hikes for my four day trip. Allowing a rest day between the hikes plus a spare day in case of bad weather. I love rain walking when training in the UK, but in Bavaria I prefer to see more than the inside of a cloud after putting in a lot of effort to get to a mountain summit! So Friday 20th October was "spare", and was primarily used as another rest day. Much needed after another long and tiring day on the Thursday.

But it was a pretty good day with some cloud and increasing sunshine, so I decided that after lunch at my hotel in Farchant, I'd stroll out to see the Kuhlflucht Waterfalls. These are on the West facing slopes of the Hoher Fricken that I had hiked up the previous day and I didn't expect a large voulme of water running over the falls as there hadn't been much recent rain.

The falls are spread over a long distance, starting very high up. It wasn't far after leaving the village along a gently rising track that I came to the last of the series before the water ran into the Loisach river. There was not an enormous flow: their steep origin from very high up must mean rain onto the Hoher Fricken will drain quickly.
