Descent to Mathelbach Spring and Hydraulic Ram

Highlight • Trail

The narrow, steep descent goes partly over roots and many stones. Because it is ALWAYS wet here, even in dry weather, the stones are very slippery! But it is worth it and is absolutely recommended! Gigantic rock formations.

Leidingshofer Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Rock canyon, the ram, a pump that drives itself, lush greenery and beautiful views. Often mushy after prolonged rain, but a nice and shady walk, especially when it's hot!

Next to it is a rest area with tables and benches.
An idyllic place to rest or have a picnic on a blanket.
There is also running water 😉

Nice snack hut in a clearing with a table and benches. The Mathelbach with a pumping system and a fireplace are right next to it. Very idyllic.
