シェーニスの滝・トップ20

Pure nature, simply great.

Great waterfalls, by the way, the highest in Switzerland.

Great refreshment option - either in the green "lagoon" or under the waterfall. Either way, great!

Cooling down on hot days...

This section of the hiking trail on the Thur is considered the most beautiful, interesting, fascinating and wildest section of the trail on the entire Thur! Next to the wild river itself, the narrow path is beautiful. It leads along fascinating forest and rocky slopes, past a flat moor and feeding sites for beavers. But the section above (i.e. south) of Krummenau (from the railway bridge over the river) to just before Nesslau can keep up and is definitely recommended, especially as far as the wildness of the river is concerned. And there are also nice and interesting sections with two higher waterfalls above/south of Nesslau. In short: the entire 18 km hike between Stein and Ebnal-Kappel is worth it!

Unfortunately completely dry in summer 😩

Standing on the viewing platform at the Seerenbach Falls, you are almost awed by the thundering waterfalls. From here you can see the vertical rock face and the waterfalls cascading down into the valley. They are only topped by the white, foaming Rin spring right next to it.

A short hiking trail from Betlis leads to the gigantic Seerenbach Falls, which at a height of 600 meters are among the largest waterfalls in Europe. The Seerenbach Falls can be seen from afar, thundering down the vertical rock face in three stages. Gigantic spectacle of nature The best view of all three levels of the waterfall is from the chapel in Betlis. The middle of the three cascades is one of the highest free-falling waterfalls in the world with a height of 305 meters. Refreshing destination Coming from Weesen or Quinten, the Seerenbach Falls with the source of the Rin are a special highlight of every hike. It is a short hike from the picturesque village of Betlis to stand on the viewing platform at the foot of the third cascade and watch the roaring waterfalls up close. In warm weather, they provide cool refreshment. In spring after the snow has melted or after heavy rainfall, the Seerenbach Falls are particularly impressive due to the large amounts of water. Mystery source of Rin Where the Seerenbach falls imposingly fall into the valley, they unite with the Rinquelle, one of the largest karst springs in Europe. At the beginning of the 20th century, researchers began to study the source of the Rin and the cave system that branched out for kilometers. There is a turnoff about three kilometers from the cave entrance. From here the water disappears inside the mountain. Where? That will probably remain a secret.
