    Beautiful, wildly romantic valley. You walk along the Mühlbach.

      The only 1.8 kilometers long tempts you not to expect much from this small hiking trail. However, the "Rhätschlucht" (Rhātschlucht), known because of its rare climate, offers some hidden peculiarities. The Salamander Valley is also a monument and is therefore a nature reserve. The sandstone gorge is of course named after the fire salamanders, which still feel at home in the Salamander Valley today due to the special climate and the swampy areas.

        The hiking trail through the wild and romantic Rhät Sandstone Gorge was renewed in 2000. In doing so, sumps for the still common fire salamanders were left and a spilled spring well was uncovered. The sandstone gorge is particularly protected as a natural monument.
