Here the Entschlige and the Otterebach flow together in a rocky funnel.

There is a small Otterbach, but it only flows into the Engstligen below the exciting, narrow rock basin through which the Engstligen flows spectacularly!

The Pochtenkessel is one of the most impressive spots in the entire gorge. Here, the water plunges with tremendous force into a naturally eroded rock basin, formed over millennia – a perfect example of how powerfully water can shape a landscape.

The thunderous roar, the splashing spray, and the narrow rock walls create an almost mystical atmosphere.
