Trail Along the Young Fils River

Highlight • Trail

Easy-to-walk path along the Fils

Young Fils

Highlight (Segment) • River

Very nicely guided footpath along the young Fils, which initially meanders rather lazily through a relatively wide valley before flowing down as a rushing stream over stone cascades to the paper mill.
Very worth seeing - but also very busy. In bad weather, the path is very muddy in parts.

There was a christening party today and so there was a lot going on, but from the beginning it was great. We met a woman with a dog, who then accompanied us to the stone house. That was really nice, the …

Very nice hike from the Wiesensteig car park at the Papiermühle (subject to a fee). The valley of the young Fils is very beautiful and easy to walk. The cave is great. You can go through it alone and take as much time as you want. Sweaty as we were, it's only 9 degrees in the cave, so we treated …

Since it was going quite well, we continued to the Schertelshöhle, initially there were signs with 2km, that was short. But later it was still 2.5 km, now it felt like at least 3 km to the cave.
The path from Filsursprung was …
