On the way from Petersalp towards Guggeien, there are several small waterfalls to admire, provided there is enough water, and the splashing is wonderful. The path itself is not really something special, but these waterfalls make it something special.

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.

Höchfall 🤩

Waterfall in the Rotbachtobel, probably the largest and most beautiful waterfall for miles around. Access via a new, steep but well-made path, same way back.

The Höchfall is a first-class highlight, absolutely worth seeing 🤩🤩🤩
