シュテフィスブルクの峡谷・トップ12

The upper part is more demanding than the lower

That was really mega beautiful

Deep views on a well-secured bridge:

Wonderful view of the Kander Gorge

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.

A very cool bridge.

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".

A descent into the Kander Gorge, especially at this point, is not recommended and dangerous. There is no real path leading down to the Kander and when the weather is uncertain, the river can become a raging beast. The view straight down from the Strättligensteg is picturesque.
