This section of the Sihl River is truly breathtaking. Crystal-clear water flows gracefully around massive boulders that rise majestically from the riverbed. The sound of the water cascading over the stones adds a soothing rhythm to the natural symphony of the landscape.

Beautiful section of the path along the water

Discover the hidden charm of Meilen Village Waterfall, where you will find a peaceful cascade flowing over smooth rocks and surrounded by lush greenery. This enchanting little waterfall is perfect for a relaxing break or a picturesque picnic right in the heart of Meilen.

The traces of storms from recent years and decades are clearly visible here. The Sihl does not always flow so peacefully...

It's really amazing, 10 minutes out of the town and you're in a different world.

In addition to the wonderful stream, which is ideal for jogging, the Mülibach also has a very interesting history 📖 In 1873, the silk manufacturer Rudolf Zinggeler-Syfrig received the rights to use the Mülibach to drive the machines in his Zinggeler AG silk mill. Above Richterswil, the star pond was created by damming the Mülibach. A two-kilometre-long pressure pipe carried the water down to Lake Zurich, where it drove a water turbine in Zinggeler's factory. For amusement and as a symbol of industrialization, from 1875 onwards the manufacturer let the water rise through a nozzle on holidays such as August 1st: A fountain was created with a height of 80 to 85 meters. This fountain was long considered the highest on the continent. In 1972 the power plant was shut down and with it the fountain. The fountain, which was restored by the Richterswil Historical Fountains Association, which was founded in 2003, was put back into operation in 2007. Today it sprays up to 101 m high.
