A place steeped in history. Apparently Anabaptists secretly met here under the bridge, which is why it was named after them. The Anabaptist movement emerged in the 16th century after the Reformation. She only baptizes people of decisive age and rejects violence. They were persecuted for this until the 18th century. Many fled to America (today they are known as Amish or Mennonites), others to the Jura Heights. What we call a typical Jura landscape today was, among other things, shaped by them.

Mystical place with the remains of the Anabaptist bridge that stood here. Meeting place of the Anabaptists who settled here from around 1528 to protect themselves from persecution by the Bernese government. Old engravings from the 16th century can be found on the walls of the gorge. The Anabaptists still meet at this place today... Cool in midsummer, cold in autumn...
