짐머쉬드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 협곡

A beautiful hike through a truly special valley. From Dörsbach, the trail ascends in numerous steps through the gorge, past many "waterfalls" over which the Wäschbach stream carves its way through the steep valley. Not a hike for beginners!

Harnessing the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of human ingenuity, whose origins can be traced back to ancient times. Thanks to such a design, a watercourse – natural or artificial – could simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of natural elements, for example, to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit. There are essentially two drive variants for watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel – usually through a so-called "mill channel" – and falls onto the blades. This design, thanks to natural gravity, ensures greater efficiency.

Schweizertal vs Ruppertsklamm .... best to see for yourself

A very good alternative to the overcrowded Ruppertsklamm.

The most impressive thing about the Swiss Valley is experiencing how hard life was in this valley back then. This all happens casually as you walk past the panels that describe the fates of the mills, the people, and the hardships in this wonderfully overgrown valley. For example, the miller of the "Schlappen Mühle" (Schlappen Mill), who transported his grain and flour on foot through the narrow valley with a donkey, wearing only slippers and no shoes.

Mühlbachtal is pure nature, accessible via an easy trail

The Swiss valley is rocky, damp, mossy. You could call it a gorge. Of the six mills that operated in the valley of the Schweizerbach, two are inhabited.
