    The witches' cauldron owes its name to an old legend. According to this legend, a witch lived in the Griesschlucht, who demanded tolls for passing through the gorge. One day, a messenger from the devil wanted to pass through the gorge without paying. The witch did not let him pass, and when the devil found out about it, he appeared in the gorge himself. In his rage that his messenger was not allowed through, he made the witch explode. The crater that was created is said to be the so-called witches' cauldron at this point.

      Cool gorge with bars through.

        You can only say pure nature here. The ascent from the lake to Griesalp is worthwhile using this route. Alternatively, you can also take the post bus. Our driver did some sightseeing.
