Top 4 Caves 에기윌 주변

The hiking trail to the Sigriswiler Rothorn comes close to the tunnel entrance. However, the trail turns left 50 meters before that.

The western entrance to the Schafloch is located slightly below the ridge and is easy to miss 👀 – pay attention to the trail markings! The entrance is via a short, steep path that can be slippery when wet ⚠️🥾. From here, the natural rock tunnel leads about 20m through the mountain – a fascinating experience 🪨⛰️. View: Right at the western portal, there is a magnificent view of Lake Thun and the Mittelland 🌄🌊 – be sure to pause for a moment and enjoy! Equipment: Sturdy hiking boots 🥾, possibly poles 🦯. A headlamp 🔦 is useful, as it is quite dark inside the tunnel. A cell phone 📱light will not suffice 😉. Safety: Not suitable in heavy rain or snow – the tunnel floor can become slippery. Recommended only for sure-footed hikers with a head for heights ⚠️. Special feature: The tunnel was formed by geological processes and is a rare natural phenomenon in Switzerland. It is one of the highlights of the Sigriswil ridge hike 🏞️.

very pretty here, very pretty

not suitable for people with claustrophobia.

At the Alp Silwangen there is an entrance for a cave from the Schrattenfluh. However, this can only be visited with a cave guide from the Unesco Biosphere Entlebuch.

The approximately 1000 m long walkable, publicly accessible tunnel crosses under the Sigriswilgrat at the Sigriswiler Rothorn. It can be reached both from the south-east from the Justistal and from the Zettenalp on the north-western side of the ridge. The sheephole was visited on September 5, 1822 by the later General Guillaume-Henri Dufour, who published a report about it. In 1884, the cave was measured by engineers from Bern, and during World War II it was expanded by the Swiss Army to become a Schafloch lock-up point. You should definitely take a lamp with you into the tunnel, it is pitch dark inside.

Where the military once lived is now a very special hiking trail. When you arrive at the wall, the former military installation opens. Great view from the various holes in the rocks. Be careful with the upper ladder, it is in the dark and the steps are 50cm apart.
