A beautiful gem in the center of the pretty village. The Mülibach stream plunges several meters directly beneath the bridge. You can follow the stream for a while in both directions and discover a few smaller waterfalls.

Between points 2 and 3 there would be a short detour to the Alpenaussicht viewing platform.

The whole gorge is beautiful for hiking, the highlight of course being the small waterfall with the two bridges.

Roots, stairs and eye-catchers in the smallest of spaces. Great spot. The "inner" conflict can be started via stairs and roots. Like a session that you want to escape from ... Personal development can be started on the bike.
