Hiking

The Farenbachtobel is a nice gem on the way. At the upper end of the Tobel you can stop in the inn for Guhwil mill. At the bottom of the ravine, the path leads along a secluded, tree-lined pond.

Hiking

From the time-honored Guhwilmühle farm, a beautiful path leads through the wild and romantic Fahrenbachtobel down to Elgg.
