Seerenbach Falls — Attraction in Amden

We came with the car. Parking places are in Weesen, at the restauran Lago Mioand at Betlin. The last one is accessible through a one way street that is opened every half an hour for 5 minutes (the drive allegedly takes 7 minutes), and same with 15 min delay for the other direction. There's a toilet at the parking space at Betlin.

We opted for Lago Mio, saving us a few meters (1900 if Google Maps are to be trusted) but still retaining walk by the sea through the tunnels.

The walking tour is a really nice one, with abundance of sun, greenery and obviously, water. We were ther in May and the tops of the mountains on the south side of the lake were still white in snow, for extra beauty points.

When you reach the chapel upper falls are clearly visible, and you are almost done. The last few meters go through the woods to a vista plato (you must expect to be wet, it rinses all the time there). Plato is essentially at the bottom of the last waterfall; there is a path that gets you to the top of that waterfall but the stairs are in a bad shape. Until this is fixed, be very careful - not only it is a slippery path, but the iron rods that used to support stairs are now, here and there, sticking up into the air and I would advise strongly against falling on them at any capacity.

Lago Mio restaurant is not overly expensive, a nice and clean place, self-serving (food is brought when ready) and about all, cash is not only the king but the only way to pay for the services.

My wife liked the trip very much. It is unnecessary to add anything to...

Seerenbach Falls, known also as Seerenbachfälle, and Rinquelle waterfall (in English: the source of the Rin), are composed of two sepertae "stories" of two diffrent streams. These remarkable waterfalls are located on the north shore of the Walensee (Lake Walen) in Amden municipality.

The Seerenbach Falls, one of Europe’s tallest waterfalls, are consist of three waterfalls with a total height of 585 m. The middle waterfall, (305 m) is one of Switzerland’s tallest waterfalls. Directly below point of Seerenbach cascade, on the east wall of the canyon, there is a remarkable phenomenon, a waterfall that comes out of the mountain, the Rinquelle waterfall with a height of 45 m.

The Rin stream is one of Europe’s largest subterranean rivers/ streams systems. The water of the Rinquelle originates in a huge cave system that was investigated since the beginning of the 20th century. It is evident that there is a 3-km-long canal that leads somewhere deep into the depth of the mountain.

You can arrive with a car to the small village of Betlis, and from theere you can climb in the 400 m path uphill (80 m height), to the viewpoint (in German - Aussichtspunkt Seerenbachfälle). Highly recomended for all...

Very narrow road to drive. You have to enter and exit during a strict ten minute window of time, and same for coming back because the road is dangerously narrow and it would be impossible to pass on most places. Small cars only. Would really be better to do this by bicycle or walking. We didn't get all the way to the waterfall because the road was so narrow and it was unclear how far you could drive before you'd have to walk, and when you'd have to go back. Probably the best if you want to go by car would be to drive to and park by the restaurant and walk the rest of the way. The restaurant has a sign telling what times are safe to drive in the direction back. Past the restaurant is unclear. There's also a very small tunnel to go through which could scratch the sides of your car. The view was beautiful but it felt so dangerous to...
