This partially rocky wall is located in the middle of Hüsliberg (the mountain is actually called that). Gravel is mined below it.

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

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...

Giants' playground and a murder in the woods The Silberbrünneli is on the way from the hamlet of Thalmühle in Bachsen to Niederweningen. From the Rütihof it's just under five minutes up into the forest and to the forest spring with a spacious fireplace. The now peaceful place has a bloody history. A forest worker took his son into the forest. He had received a silver spoon from his godfather, which his father now demanded for himself. His son refused, and in his anger the man pushed his own child over the edge of the rifts. The boy's body was found at the Silberbrünneli along with the silver spoon. The rocks near the source are about thirty meters high. Giants have obviously let off steam here and left their "toys" in the form of tree trunks and oversized blocks of stone. The path from the Bachs to the Wehntal leads the hiker to the legendary Erdmannli, a spring with a spooky story and to someone who revolutionized hair care.
