The Chluse Gorge forms the spectacular entrance to the Gastern Valley and impressively demonstrates how the Kander River has carved its way through the massive rock over millennia. The gorge is narrow, steep, and characterized by towering rock faces over which the water roars into the depths – a true powerhouse of alpine geology. What's particularly fascinating is that the old road and hiking trail lead directly through this natural bottleneck. You can practically feel how isolated the valley once was and why the "Chluse" was considered a strategically important, yet dangerous, section. Today, it's easily accessible and an impressive start to any tour into the Gastern Valley – wild, rugged, and absolutely photogenic. 💧🪨📸✨

The old stone arch bridge in the Gastern Valley is an impressive example of traditional Alpine architecture. Built from local stone, it served for many decades as a vital link between the alpine pastures and the small settlements in the valley. Despite its age, it still withstands the powerful current of the Kander River, which emerges from the gorge here with particular force. Located directly above a narrow passage, the bridge offers a fantastic view of the milky-turquoise glacial water and the surrounding rock faces. The spot is easily accessible yet pleasantly quiet – ideal for anyone interested in historical buildings, geology, or simply breathtaking moments in nature. 💧🏔️📸✨

Rather deep, possible with large backpacks but a bit cumbersome.

The drive to the official parking lot in Holzachsegga is an adventure in itself. The road is so narrow on the steep slope that even an oncoming bicycle wouldn't be able to pass. If there's oncoming traffic, you have to reverse for long stretches. From the parking lot, it's only a few minutes' walk to the gorge, which is truly breathtaking. Those with a bit more time can skip the parking lot and climb from the valley floor.

Nice walk, but if you can walk in one direction, you prefer not to encounter oncoming traffic. But walking back down is also beautiful and very easy to do

Don't forget the sign does say "One-Way", i.e., upwards & there's a contribution box at the top.

The Choleren Gorge was washed out of the rock by the Tschentbach over thousands of years. Below the gorge there is a beautiful bathing area known as the "Fountain of Youth" before the stream flows into the Engstligen.

Actually, this is about a beautiful bathing spot in the Tschentbach, known as the "fountain of youth", just before it flows into the Engstligen. Before that, i.e. above, the Tschentbach rushes through the spectacular Cholerenschlucht (there is a special HL in the right place for this).

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.

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.
