Seerenbach Falls and Rin Spring
A natural spectacle near Betlis. With a drop of almost 600 m, the Seerenbach Falls are one of the highest waterfalls in Europe. At the same time, the middle waterfall, with a drop of 305 m, is considered one of the highest free-falling waterfalls in Switzerland. Immediately below the impact zone of the Seerenbach cascade, the Rin Spring emerges from the mountain and cascades over a 45 m high cliff into the Seerenbach River. The Rin Spring is one of the largest underground river systems in Europe. The water from the Rin Spring originates in the Toggenburg region and flows through the many kilometers-long cave system of the Churfirsten Mountains in just a few hours. During snowmelt and after heavy rainfall, up to 40,000 liters of water per second rush into the Seerenbach Gorge; during periods of low rainfall, the Rin Spring can even dry up.

Very easy walk once you reach the hiking trail at the top. Unfortunately there is no parking at the top so you should leave the car in the village below. The climb from the village to the starting point is relatively steep and strenuous.
