This extremely cool, wild gorge leads through the 2020 landslide area (rehabilitated) and continues along numerous footbridges along the rocks and the stream. At the back, the path continues only via rather steep steps. The path is not suitable for dogs due to the many gratings.

🌿 The Äuli Gorge in Lichtensteig – pure nature in Toggenburg! Turquoise water, mossy rocks, and mystical legends like the Äuli Dog 👻 await you. The perfect place to dive, hike, or simply marvel.

A wonderful piece of nature, highly recommended. If you like deep gorges dug by water, this is the place for you. The path is very well developed with bridges and footbridges, making it easy to walk. However, there are only two exits at the north end via steep stairs, so you should take this into account.

Äulischlucht in the Felsental. Incredibly beautiful detour into a grotesquely narrow rocky gorge with the Thur flowing through it, with a beautiful waterfall coming from the side.
