Waterfall Tree near the Adelmühle

Highlight • Natural Monument

I don't know what it is or what it was, but it looked cool, just like a tree from which water is constantly running

Great, mostly shady stretch of path along the Feuertobelbach stream.
A few spots invite you to cool your feet. Wonderful in summer.

Beautiful round in the same kind of weather through the Schmalegger and Rinkenburg Tobel with the beautiful natural forests. My personal highlight next to the Schmalegger waterfall was the rare "big fox" recognizable by the 4 dots on the front wings. The "Little Fox" has only 3 points.

Wonderful tour through the unique ravine area around Schmalegg. Many sections are protected forest areas and with a bit of luck you can also spot a kingfisher

Starting from the Adelmühle hiking car park, the route goes along the Feuertobelbach-Glastobelbach. Before Schwarzensteg, a narrow path goes up to the Schmuckerhof - quite steep at the end. The forest paths …
