Top 4 Gorges around Weiach

A beautiful hiking trail. I felt like I was somewhere in a tropical forest. It offers a small idyll, with rocky slopes and the Tägerbach stream, which thunders intermittently, as if saying, "Look at me, listen to what I'm doing!" A special flora that has contributed a great deal to this idyll. You have to stop again and again, listen, observe, and enjoy.

How enchanted to drive through this little gorge, watching the Tägerbach with its waterfalls... a truly special experience.

This partially rocky wall is located in the middle of Hüsliberg (the mountain is actually called that). Gravel is mined below it.

Strenuous climb, plan a lot of time

Giants' playground and a murder in the woods The Silberbrünneli is on the way from the hamlet of Thalmühle in Bachsen to Niederweningen. From the Rütihof it's just under five minutes up into the forest and to the forest spring with a spacious fireplace. The now peaceful place has a bloody history. A forest worker took his son into the forest. He had received a silver spoon from his godfather, which his father now demanded for himself. His son refused, and in his anger the man pushed his own child over the edge of the rifts. The boy's body was found at the Silberbrünneli along with the silver spoon. The rocks near the source are about thirty meters high. Giants have obviously let off steam here and left their "toys" in the form of tree trunks and oversized blocks of stone. The path from the Bachs to the Wehntal leads the hiker to the legendary Erdmannli, a spring with a spooky story and to someone who revolutionized hair care.

Can be visited by bike, short pushing passage, better on foot and leave the bike a little below!

A very nice stretch through slippery limestone. The path is quite narrow but not too difficult to master. The path ends on the "old warehouse". If you continue to the right from there, you will find yourself on broad paths quite quickly (Hochwacht). In the other direction you can hike on rather narrow paths to Baden.
