Fuchslochtobel

Rustic ravine between Walzenhausen and Sankt Margrethen, in which a jungle atmosphere arises. A narrow bridge leads over the stream, which cascades down over a rock face in a kind of waterfall.

Mattenbachtobel Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Of course there is no view here in the Mattenbachtobel, as it is in the Waldtobel. But it's a nice trail in the Tobel with a bridge crossing.

Above Heiden, the Werdbach ravines its way through forest areas...

The route is marked as an "Alpine Trail" on the hiking signs at the sports center. Just upstream towards Botzenau there were landslides and fallen trees that had to be overcome. The paths, bridges, footbridges, side streams with some waterfalls and stream crossings as well as tunnels and an industrial ruin and bridge ruin make the explorer's heart beat faster. The beautiful landscape does the rest. Warning signs at both ends of the path inform about the risks of sudden water rises, landslides, rock falls, etc.

Shortly after the straight tunnel you can take photos on the rocks with the small rock tunnel in the river.

The path is marked with warning signs (landslide, sudden rise in water, etc.). There is no prohibition sign anywhere. There are even information boards downstream and the bridge that provides access is even being renovated!
