Aeuli Gorge Waterfall (Lichtensteig)

Highlight • Waterfall

From here on, from the bridge, you can see a little into the gorge-like ravine, which is extremely beautiful. But to see more and to see the waterfall, you have to go in on foot (see separate highlights).

May 16, 2025,Dietfurt Bahnhof - Äulischlucht - Kägi Shop - Dietfurt Bahnhof

A varied circular hike from Dietfurt that combines nature, waterfall experiences, and a sweet treat. The highlight is the mystical Äulischlucht Gorge with its pebble beach and turquoise water – ideal for a short rest or a refreshing dip. Afterwards, the Kägi Shop tempts you with sweet treats before a leisurely return to the starting point.
