Discovering the Allgäu - The Stuibenfall
Hello Steemians
In todays post of my discovery tour across the Allgäu I'll show you one of the region's many attraction, the Stuibenfall. With a drop height of 25 m, the Stuibenfall is the largest waterfall in the district of Oberstdorf. Its water falls over a terrain step towards the end of the Oytal valley, which can be accessed from the village of Oberstdorf.
At the end of the Oytal a steep slope leads up on a gravel road towards a view point at 1300 m. From there the natural spectacle can be enjoyed from almost immediate proximity.
The impact of the raging water masses after 25 m of free fall produces so much spray that I had to constantly wipe the lens of my camera. The cooling effect was highly welcome though since I had climbed all the way up with an old 3-gear bike (at some point I had stopped to count all the E-Bikers who had overtaken me with ease during my climb).
Here a few impressions for you to enjoy:
Towards the end of the Oytal valley.
Up it goes.
The view back down the valley. Hidden behind the mountain slope to the left lies Oberstdorf.
Approaching the steaming Stuibenfall. The constant spray gave the waterfall its name Stuibenfall (sputtering waterfall).
A welcome cool down.
Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the next post of this Discovery Series!

That looks beautiful.
Doesn't E-biking sorta kill the point?
Totally in my opinion! But the majority seems to love it. The E-bikers have by far become the largest species in the whole region. In five years or so people will be flying up the mountains with their drones. No doubt about that...
The idea of the "fit alps folk" is going to be heading downhill more than up :D
:D
Die Ecke lädt ja geradezu ein, um Landschaft zu fotografieren. Sehr schöne Aufnahmen!
