벨포‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 협곡

The Galterntal with its Galtern Gorge is a real leisure and natural paradise. Along the gorge, countless bridges, arches, footbridges and walkways line the steep walls. Joggers and hikers alike are out and about here. For dogs, the four-legged gorge walkers, the builders of the bridges have here and there made paw-friendly attachments so that the animals do not injure their paws on the partially metal perforated plates.

Between the Gruyère and Schiffenen lakes, the Sarine has the morphological characteristics of a canyon. Here you can observe the impressive Molasse cliffs that line the river. You also have a beautiful view of the Naigles footbridge and the Poya bridge.

It's a Legendary Bridge!

August 2023 passable again!

The countless stairs, footbridges and bridges lead you through the Galterengraben (La vallée du Gottéron) along the Galterenbach (Galtera = Gottéron) from Tafers to the lower town of Freiburg/Fribourg. By the way, there are several spellings for this ditch, e.g. "Galterntal" or French versions, but they always mean the same thing 🤷🏻‍♂️. In the lower town (old town) the Galterenbach ends where it meets the Saane. It is also a hike from German-speaking Switzerland to the predominantly French-speaking city of Freiburg (Fribourg 😉). Every now and then the hiking trail is closed due to falling rocks or woodwork. The municipality of Tafers provides information on its website under “News”.

beautiful moat, the side slopes are covered with ivy

The Gottéron valley, a tributary of the Sarine, is a haven of greenery and freshness. This site was feared in medieval times for its dark and obscure side. Some thought a dragon lived there!

The Gottéron is full of mills that once made the prosperity of the city of Friborg. This is not a grain mill, but a kind of mill like one can see in the glacial region (Gletschermühle). This series of basins is dug in the molasse by the water and the pebbles which swirl there.
