Glastal Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Opportunity for a wonderful circular hike through the Glastal valley and back via the Schweiftal valley. The Schweiftal valley is worth a detour, especially because of its bright limestone cliffs.

What can I say. The Glastal is and remains a beautiful destination. The whole area is fantastic for hiking and enjoying.

Unfortunately, there is not much water to be found in the Glastal at these temperatures. However, the water that was available was crystal clear, as always.
