Top 6 Caves ブリットナウでの

Hello my dears :-) First of all, I wish you all a happy new year 2026! 🎉✨ Today I went on a varied and impressive hike. I started in Aarburg at the public parking lot, from where the trail immediately climbs over 1000 steps, though there are actually 1150 steps in total. The ascent becomes significantly steeper, especially from about the last 900 steps: it gets much steeper, and the steps are higher, which takes a considerable amount of effort. But it's worth it, because at the top, a lovely barbecue area awaits, perfect for a well-deserved break. The trail continued past Born up to the Stein (718 m above sea level). From this point on, there are repeatedly impressive views down to the Aare River, and on a clear day, the view of the Alps is simply stunning. A particular highlight was the Heidenhöhle (Heathen Cave). A headlamp is highly recommended for this section, as it's quite dark inside the cave. Afterwards, the trail zigzagged. The Little Matterhorn, which I already knew, once again served as a nice landmark along the route. Sure footing is required for this section; hiking poles may be helpful for some hikers. Finally, the route led me comfortably back to the parking lot, leaving me satisfied and with many wonderful memories. A truly successful hike that perfectly combined nature, exercise, and impressive views. 🥾🌲 Highlights I experienced: - 1000 Steps :-) - Heidenhöhle Cave - Little Matterhorn Lowlight: - None FYI: Here's the video (Part 1): relive.com/de/view/vZqNKKdow3v Here's the video (Part 2): Coming soon Equipment: Standard hiking gear FYI: Easy hike Difficulty: T1 (Hiking) I wish you all the best and happy hiking!

After rock shedding was discovered near the Column Grotto in the fall of 2022, the municipality carried out various investigation and remediation work. During this time, the sandstone cave was closed. The investigation and remediation work has since been completed. Thus, there is essentially no longer any safety risk while in and around the Column Grotto. Every effort has been made to prevent any further rock shedding. However, a residual risk of natural hazards cannot be completely ruled out.

Unfortunately, access to the quarry has been prohibited since this spring due to rockfall danger😢😭😢😭😢

Currently not accessible due to rockfall

Was no longer easily accessible in the meantime, but is now fully accessible again (March 2025)

Exciting place, also for children. They shouldn't be too small. There is a bit of climbing and you should bring good light.

Heideloch, or Heidechuchi, is a rock crevice that can be crawled through. Fixed iron handholds provide the necessary support. A few meters south of Heideloch, you'll find the Flädermus-Stübli. This cave is about 20 meters long and about 10 meters deep.

Sandstone was mined here for a long time. Be careful when visiting, the area is on the edge of the shooting range. The caves are not accessible when shooting is on! Here is some useful information about sandstone mining in Staffelbach. https://sandsteinmuseum.ch/
