Short description

Pleasantly fresh hike from Riezlern along the Breitach. The ascent of the Breitachklamm is of course the icing on the cake of the tour! One-way regulation Breitachklamm: Currently only entry via the valley ticket office in Tiefenbach is possible.

Description

All around us water is running down the rocks, gurgles in tiny rivers across the hiking trail into the Breitach. It seems as if one could watch the Breitach unify with its many small and larger side creeks in order to plummet through the gorge some meters further down. Occasionally you can walk down from the trail to the river's gravel bed, take a sip of cool water, build small cairns out of the pebble stones or stretch your feet into the clear water. Highly recommended: a visit to the gorge "Breitachklamm". Be a testimony of how the once calm water plummets down untamedly between narrow cliffs.
