Impressive path section through a gully. The mighty trees at the edge of the channel cling spectacularly into the ground.

Iron Ravine

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The ditch is noted on the 25'000 map. The meaning is not clear to me. Was iron mined here? We still go after that ...

Täli near Kästhal

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

This valley would certainly be wonderful to navigate. Currently, however, the rains have pretty much affected the valley and the path has been extremely washed out and is currently blocked from above.

Remetschwiler Tobel

Highlight • Gorge

Always beautiful, has a few steps, the trail that leads down to the barbecue area on the cultural trail is blocked by various tree trunks, perhaps intentionally😢

One of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, hiking trails through a gorge-like landscape, with many exposed roots along the sides. Simply stunning!

Wonderful section where fossil mining is prohibited! Unfortunately, there is no story to be found about it.
