リンデンの峡谷・トップ6

The upper part is more demanding than the lower

That was really mega beautiful

Cross country, partly swampy, good footwear recommended

Yes, a farmer actually spotted a bear back there and was able to photograph it. This was about 3 years ago. Since then things have become quiet again, at least around the bear. But of course it's very quiet at the back in Eriz and there really doesn't seem to be any hustle and bustle. Totally secluded and yet close to Thun and Bern.

The Choleren Gorge, which was created by the erosion of the Cholerbach. With steep cliffs, thundering waterfalls and winding paths, it offers hikers and nature lovers a spectacular experience. Wooden bridges and stairs enable safe exploration of this fascinating natural setting. The name "Cholerenschlucht" is probably related to traditional charcoal burning. The Choleren Gorge used to be known for its charcoal kilns, where charcoal was produced. The name "Choleren Gorge" could thus refer to this historical activity. A second theory is that the term comes from the Latin word "colera" which means "bile" or "anger" and could refer to the wild waterfalls and the impressive nature of the gorge. A third theory holds that the name comes from the old Swiss German word "chole" meaning "little stream" or "little river".

Wonderfully beautiful, but sometimes quite steep gorge with a lot of potential for slipping. Good shoes recommended. Tip: If the ground is damp and wet, it is better to hike through the Choleren Gorge from bottom to top. When it's dry, it's easy to do on both sides. Some barbecue areas invite you to pause and linger. The countless waterfalls with their pools and the green of the gorge give the whole scenery a romantic touch.

A little highlight for hikers. Pretty wobbly! Not a pleasant thing for animals due to the large-meshed and somewhat sharp-edged ground conditions of the bridge.

You should only look down from the bridge if you have a head for heights
