Hike through the Bürser Gorge
Signposted paths lead from the center of Bürs to the entrance to the gorge. The path through the gorge is wonderfully varied: natural paths lead over stones and steps, wooden bridges keep crossing the Alvierbach and the impressive waterfall is a real highlight on the hike through the Bürser gorge!
From the waterfall it goes steeply uphill through the forest to the edge of the gorge, which is the highest point of the route at around 800m. The great view over the Brandnertal invites you to linger for a while. The path leads downhill past the so-called "Kuhloch", a small dry gorge into which the Alvier once dug itself. Walk through the boulders to Brandnerstraße and back to Bürs.

A great and impressive hiking trail through the Bürserschlucht. From time to time, however, you should be sure-footed. In some places it's really tough. The way is not feasible with strollers etc. There is always the possibility to get directly to the water and also to cool off. You can also grill on the bank.

The Bürser Gorge was formed by the interplay of water and ice after the retreat of the glaciers about 10,000 years ago. The Alvierbach stream created a spectacular, almost jungle-like landscape with moss-covered rocks and a rich flora.
