The approximately 12 km long circular route is not only a must for "those intending to get engaged," as the name suggests, but an experience for everyone with views into the valley and waterfalls.

Enjoy the circular hiking trail around the Sösetalsperre to Riefensbeek and Kamschlacken past many beautiful viewpoints and small waterfalls.

We start our route at the water of the Sösetalsperre on a flat path to Riefensbeek. Those feeling hungry or thirsty there can try the freshly baked cake or homemade tortes at Landhaus Meyer. Well strengthened, the route continues to the Eleonor shelter. From there, you have a view far down into the valley. The descent is also characterized by beautiful views and small waterfalls.
