Brüeltobel

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Quite steep gravel road in the so-called "Brüeltobel", very well-known access route to the Sämtisersee and the Alpstein, therefore often heavily populated.

Forsttobel

Highlight • Gorge

A beautiful, quiet forest path leads from Zapfen towards Waldschäftli through the Forsttobel.

This path is not signposted and is therefore naturally very quiet.

Down countless steps into the Rotbachtobel

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

A very beautiful hiking trail that leads over many wooden steps (be careful, risk of slipping when it rains!) And, among other things, over a bridge through the Rotbachtobel.

Chlustobel Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very cool and romantic path through the Chlustobel, sometimes through the top, but also down along the Brüelbach. Doesn't seem to be committed that often?

Brühltobel Gorge and Plattenbödeli Mountain Restaurant

Highlight • Gorge

Very steep Aufsrieg of Brülisau through the Brühltobel - down I went on foot, the brakes would have annealed well. And by the way: in the Alpstein is bicycle driving ban

At the edge of the abyss...

Highlight • Gorge

Slightly off the beaten path in the forest, where it goes straight down into the ravine. Path not very good and a bit overgrown.

Löchli Basin

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

At the very back of the Löchli valley, outside of the alpine season there is nothing going on here. Nice to drive, although the access is sometimes very steep.
