There are three nice barbecue areas in the Wiesentäli - we were able to use the Wiesentäli barbecue area to grill sausages. With a fountain with fresh water. See also https://grillstelle.ch/grillstellen/810/wiesentaeli/uebersicht

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😢

Very beautiful, amazingly quiet valley - you don't have the impression of being so close to the Limmattal and the Agglo. But beware: the owners of Hof Wiesental have apparently had very bad experiences with passers-by. The little road that leads right past the farm may not even be used on foot...

Beautiful, well-developed path through the small Busslinger Tobel. Not accessible for riders (steps and narrow bridge), not suitable for wheelchairs, walkers or prams because there are many steps.
