    Natural wonder for the Walsers as an eternal source of strength

    A whirlpool and a swirl, a rolling and whirling, an unbridled force that has broken and polished the rock over thousands of years and expands your lungs in an instant when you look down into the bubbling cauldron. Shortly after the confluence of the Fellebach and Bregenzerach, the water falls around 10 meters into the Fellchessel, throwing up dust. The wonderfully smooth, polished rock is less the work of roaring white water than a relic of the Ice Age. When meltwater rushed down like a whirlpool in a crevasse, a glacier mill formed under enormous pressure. The mystical attraction of this small natural wonder comes not only from its aesthetics but also from the large number of oxygen molecules that rise up, stimulating the immune system. It is no mistake that the Walsers have always seen the Fellchessel as a source of strength.
