Röthbachfall

The Röthbachfall, which has a 470-meter vertical plunge, is the tallest waterfall in Germany (1540 ft). On the Obersee lake in the Berchtesgaden region, there is a waterfall. This distant position has given rise to the false assertion that the more accessible Triberg Waterfall, which has a drop of only 163 meters, is the highest waterfall in Germany.

It takes a boat ride down the fjord-like Konigssee and a short stroll past the enchanted waters of Obersee in the towering mountains of Berchtesgaden National Park in Bavaria to reach Germany's highest waterfall, the the Röthbachfall. The Berchtesgaden Alps' high terrain is not visited on this trip, but it does pass through some breathtaking scenery in the range's deep, glacier-carved valleys. For park visitors seeking an alternative to the typical Konigssee boat ride that is pleasant and leisurely, this hike is fantastic.

The Steinerne Meers provides water for the Röthbachfall; the amount of water depends on precipitation and snowfall. Water is abundant there, especially in the spring, and scarce in the fall. The water seeps into the Fischunkel's marshy pastures, where it nourishes the Obersee beneath. A little pool only forms at the base of the waterfall, melting snow.
