Description
Scheidegger Wasserfälle (Scheidegg Cascades)
The water of the creek Rickenbach is tumbling down at the "Scheidegger Wasserfälle" via two mighty ridgelines: the two cascades lying close together 18 respectively 22 meters high and can be watched from several view points. Coming down from the cascades the view opens to the Rohrach ravine. A ravine that is carved up to 200 meters and is the biggest nature reserve in the district of Lindau with a special protection status.

Fountains
Children will have fun at the petting zoo and the newly created water playground above the cascades: here they can build dams, gaze at a water wheel or just splash around in the water at their heart's content. The information concerning water transport with a hydraulic ram are rather meant for the adult visitors. The old and almost forgotten technique was revived at the Scheidegg cascades and supplies the devices at the playground with water.

Variants tour no.1 and no.2
Whoever wants to combine a visit of the Scheidegg cascades with a round tour can choose between two tours: Hiking to the "Hasenreuter Wasserfall" (tour no.1) you can admire another cascade worth visiting and the tour to the lake "Waldsee" (tour no.2) invites you to have a bath in the moor lake and visit the reptile zoo.
