Beautiful hanging ridges and many stairs to get there, but it's nice over the Namlos stream that winds its way underneath here. There is a parking lot very close by, so it is also easily accessible for those who cannot or do not want to walk much.

A very beautiful section with a wild gorge. The gravel downhill is a bit rough, and the rain gutters seem oversized, but it's still easy to ride on a gravel bike.

A not too big bridge, but definitely worth visiting. It is integrated into a 17 km long hiking trail. We were there because of the bridge, however, and walked through the forest to the village of Namlos back to the hiking car park. Above the car park is the Alpine inn "Kreuz" with excellent traditional cuisine. Highly recommended 😋

A must for every cycling fan who doesn't mind a bit of gravel and rubble, as well as a very(!) steep descent. Almost impossible in winter or on slippery roads because of the gradient...
