The Galternbach is a tributary of the Saane. It flows into the Saane near the Bern Bridge in Freiburg. Coming from the village of Galtern in the east, the stream flows westwards in wide curves, meandering through a long, wooded valley that narrows in places like a gorge. The valley widens out a little towards the mouth. There are also a few old mills here.

Very pleasant walk in the gorges, many bridges and footbridges. The site is quite popular on weekends. There is a magnificent restaurant nestled in this unique setting, called la Pinte des Trois Canards.
