The Zügen Gorge is a three kilometer long passage created by the Landwasser between Wiesen and Monstein in the Davos landscape. The gorge is framed by the Steig and Silberberg rock formations. (Source: Wikipedia)
The Zügen Gorge therefore only extends between the Wiesen and Monstein train stations (unlike the section marked here). The hike runs from the Wiesen train station as a path high up on the edge of the gorge to a particularly striking point, the so-called "Bärentritt", where a thundering waterfall plunges into the Landwasser as an impressive natural spectacle. This waterfall can also be observed on a train ride with the nostalgic train from Davos to Filisur via Wiesen, because the train is extra slow here when it comes out of the tunnel for a short time. From here you continue on the old Zügenstrasse, which is now designated as an educational rock trail and as a mobility trail, to the next Monstein train station.

Hike through part of the gorge created by Landwasser between the Wiesen and Monstein train stations. From the Wiesen train station, first on a path high up on the edge of the gorge to Bärentritt, where a waterfall plunges mightily into the land water. The rest of the way leads on the old train road to Monstein.

The nature trail isn't that great, but a visit to the Zügen Gorge is definitely recommended.
