Beautiful, impressive Thur landscape at the small bridge at Felsental (near Lichtensteig) with a small gorge (only on foot!) and a beautiful waterfall.

Super beautiful waterfall in a somewhat remote location, easily accessible on foot via Felskluft (leave your bike). Fantastically beautiful location near the Thur.

From here on, from the bridge, you can see a little into the gorge-like ravine, which is extremely beautiful. But to see more and to see the waterfall, you have to go in on foot (see separate highlights).

May 16, 2025,Dietfurt Bahnhof - Äulischlucht - Kägi Shop - Dietfurt Bahnhof
A varied circular hike from Dietfurt that combines nature, waterfall experiences, and a sweet treat. The highlight is the mystical Äulischlucht Gorge with its pebble beach and turquoise water – ideal for a short rest or a refreshing dip. Afterwards, the Kägi Shop tempts you with sweet treats before a leisurely return to the starting point.
