The Wallbachschlucht can be found in the west of Lenk and is easily accessible from the valley station of the Wallegbahn. The Wallbach falls at this point over the forehead of a limestone slab several meters into the depths. There, the water, together with gravel and gravel, cut meter-deep, cylindrical depressions into the limestone slab. The stratification of the limestone and the cylindrical depressions draw an elaborate rock pattern.
