Trailrunning Isel - small Altein waterfall
Flat route in the Isel to the reservoir and the small Altein waterfall. Perfect trail route for beginners.
The route starts at the ARA in the Isel and first leads around the reservoir. Through the idyllic Isel forest, which slightly resembles the forests in Scandinavia, the trail is flat but gently ascending to the small Altein waterfall. Those who dare get very close will be rewarded with a cool refreshment. Along the Welschtobelbach, the route leads back to the parking lot at the ARA.
