シャットドルフの滝・トップ11

very pretty here, very pretty

Beautiful waterfall visible from the road to the west of Lake Lucerne. The steep cliffs of the surrounding mountains rise up to either side of the river.

Narrow road with a breathtaking view of the valley. Be careful in spring and autumn when the cows are brought to the Alp and back to the valley

place of power! The cows and a few sheep look at you as if they want to welcome you here. The imposing, approximately 100 meter high waterfall called "Stäubifall" or "Stäuberfall" rushes continuously and is the most famous waterfall in Unterschächen. With every meter you get closer to the hamlet, you fall in love. The Alp Äsch at 1238m is an unknown paradise in the Swiss Alps. The houses are family-owned and today mostly belong to several families. Because the descendants of the families often use this simply as a holiday home. However, there is a restaurant called Gasthöfli, which is open in summer. It offers drinks and simple local dishes such as sausage and cheese platters, soup of the day, Wienerli, etc. Only one person lives on Alp Äsch all year round. Access is very dangerous in winter due to the risk of avalanches and is therefore not recommended.

This point is secured with a chain. If the brook carries a lot of water it will of course be more difficult to pass this point ... but thanks to the chain it is somehow feasible, but then maybe with wet feet ;-).

In the afternoon the Firnbach can carry so much water that a passage becomes difficult. So a morning climb from this side is the order of the day.

The source of the stream is about 20 meters before the waterfall, so you can fill up your bottle there without any problems.

You can enjoy the view of this waterfall from the Unterschächen driveway - the road leads up here along the steep side of the valley and near the guardrail you sometimes feel like you are in the cockpit of an airplane on a bike ....
