ソンタグの峡谷・トップ20

The Bürser Gorge was formed by the interplay of water and ice after the retreat of the glaciers about 10,000 years ago. The Alvierbach stream created a spectacular, almost jungle-like landscape with moss-covered rocks and a rich flora.

The Kuhloch is a dry gorge that was formed by the Alvierbach stream about 13,000 years ago.

Easy and well secured route.

The path continues to wind uphill and after a right turn it goes steeply up over rocks. You have reached the gorge, a deep rock cut that the Gemstelbach has dug here over the years. To the right of the gorge, the path continues uphill, secured with a rope. The view down into the gorge is breathtaking. Deep down in the gorge you can hear the rushing of the Gemstelbach and in front of you you can see the waterfalls at the end of the valley in front of the Koblat massif.

Without a sign I wouldn't have seen it as a cow hole 🙈

This tour is highly recommended. Just not with a stroller or wheelchair.

Interesting rock formation but why Kuhloch 🤔🤷‍♂️🙈

After the glaciers retreated, the Alvier stream dug itself into its own gravel and has thus formed the current gorge over the last 10,000 years. It offers extremely rare insights into the earth's recent history and, with its almost jungle-like tree population, is also considered one of the most scenic in the Alps.
