ディームティゲンの天然記念物・トップ20

A beautiful via ferrata leads up from the ground.

Rather deep, possible with large backpacks but a bit cumbersome.

The waterfalls consist of two mighty cascades: Engstligenfall I (~97m) and Fall II (~165m), totaling a drop of approximately 370–600m, depending on the source. The ensemble is one of Switzerland's most visited natural attractions – with over 250,000 visitors annually, it is one of the most visited waterfalls in the country. --- 🥾 Accessibility & Trails Hiking Trail: The trail leads from the lower parking lot or valley station along the falls up to Engstligenalp in about 1.5 hours – easy hike (T2). Gondola: Easily accessible by gondola from Adelboden directly to Engstligenalp – ideal for combining visits with a circular hike. --- 🧗‍♂️ "Chäligang" Via Ferrata The Chäligang Via Ferrata (K2/A-B) was built right next to the roaring waterfall – an impressive, family- and beginner-friendly route up the spectacular face of the falls. Distance & Time: Approximately 600 meters long, with approximately 300 meters of elevation gain. Approach time: approximately 20–30 minutes, climbing time: approximately 1–1.5 hours, total duration: approximately 2–2.5 hours

The drive to the official parking lot in Holzachsegga is an adventure in itself. The road is so narrow on the steep slope that even an oncoming bicycle wouldn't be able to pass. If there's oncoming traffic, you have to reverse for long stretches. From the parking lot, it's only a few minutes' walk to the gorge, which is truly breathtaking. Those with a bit more time can skip the parking lot and climb from the valley floor.

A beautiful waterfall. You can reach it via a via ferrata or a hiking trail. There's a very good barbecue area at the bottom.

Down below you can build dams and even swim 🏊

Great ascent aid for snowshoe hikes🥰

Karst rock is formed by the weathering and dissolution of limestone, dolomite or gypsum. Over thousands of years, water has formed impressive landscapes with spectacular rock formations. 🌊 Formation: Rainwater, which is slightly acidic, slowly erodes limestone and forms caves, sinkholes, gorges and bizarre rock formations. 📍 Well-known karst areas: Schrattenfluh (CH), Dolomites (IT), Karst region of Slovenia
