Natural paths and paths on both sides of the creek, connected by a few wooden bridges, give a good view of the free-flowing Püttlach, which meanders between rock faces and forest slopes. Wildly romantic and simply beautiful.

Hiking

The Püttlachtal is cut deep into the Jura landscape and has many striking rock formations. The towns of Pottenstein and Tüchersfeld are in the Püttlachtal; in both places the houses are partly built directly on the rocks.
The Püttlach is an approximately 28 km long left tributary of the Wiesent in Franconian Switzerland.
