The two waterfalls have been a major attraction in Flühli since tourism began. To ensure the best possible view of the waterfall, a wooden suspension bridge was built over the rocky basin.

The Chessimättli is the longest suspension bridge in the UNESCO Entlebuch Biosphere Reserve and hangs up to 45 meters above the Seebach stream. It is 65 meters long.

The suspension bridge can be pretty wobbly. =)
