The circular route continues uphill to Hambaumsattel and via the high path and goods road Pernzell back to the starting point. Hiking path: 25, 7 **Directions:** This romantic family route starts at the former inn Waldklause in Pernzell. We follow path no. 25 about 250 meters uphill and turn left onto the marked hiking path. On a boardwalk, we cross the rushing stream and reach along a path the roaring "Rinnerberger" Waterfall. Then we climb an iron ladder into a quiet valley basin and thus reach the "Rinnerberger Gorge" - also a natural spectacle. Afterwards, we come to a forest road, cross the barbed wire and reach a barrier. Now we follow the road up to Hambaumsattel, continue to the Marterl bend, follow the high path no. 7 and then reach the goods road Pernzell and so after about 1 kilometer our starting point. **Safety guidelines:** Since this gorge route leads over boardwalks and an iron ladder, it is especially recommended in good weather. Be careful on autumn leaves!

Überrascht wird man vom Tosen des **Rinnerberger Wasserfalls**, wo sich das Wasser seinen Weg über die senkrechten Felsen bahnt und in den kristallklaren Tümpel stürzt. Durch einen stillen Talkessel erreicht man die **Rinnerberger Klamm**, ebenfalls ein Naturschauspiel.
