The small waterfall with a picturesque ravine and rocks is right next to the wide wooden path. If you want to wade through the creek a little, you can also watch the fall in the ditch itself.

You really would not believe that such a landscape exists in German-speaking Switzerland - and then in the middle of an urban area!

A beautiful gorge with waterfalls, pools and rock faces. Should be one of the most famous meeting places in the area, but I had a few quiet minutes there during the autumn week.

A real gem of nature: A barbecue area directly on the S curve of the Töss, with a wide pebble beach, opposite a rock wall (see pictures) However, the descent here is a little tricky as there are a lot of trees on the path here and you have to fight your way through a bit.
