Riffenmatt Legend Stop

Highlight • Monument

The Ball of Thread

Look around: Dense forests line the slopes of the Horbühl Pass. Numerous secrets are hidden within them. Secrets about dwarves, elves, fairies, and dragons.

Until a few generations ago, these creatures were omnipresent in people's lives. One day, several Riffenmatt residents managed to capture two dwarves.

The population hoped to gain access to the well-kept secrets of the nature spirits in this way...

Listen to the legend to learn what trick the dwarves used to free themselves from their predicament.

Traditional Houses of Schwarzenburg

Highlight • Historical Site

Magnificent houses throughout the village. Schwarzenburg is the starting point for many walks and bike rides. Nearby, go see the Ruine Grasburg and the gorges of La Sense and Schwarzwasser, it's worth the detour.
