Shortly before the top, the path is quite narrow and exposed. Not for people with a fear of heights,

Incredibly beautiful gorge. From Môiters, the actual gorge (with dreamy, moss-covered stairs and great wooden walkways) begins just before the canton border. It is worth climbing the sometimes steep stairs. The gorge becomes more beautiful the further you go into it. The path from the car park to the gorge is quite rocky.
