Top 4 Gorges around Wasterkingen

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.

Driving is prohibited from the Wislikofen side. Start further down, from Melikon. I really enjoyed the route! Being in Aargau, losing yourself in the beauty of the Kleiner Schlucht, feeling like you're in a tropical forest... Enjoy it too!

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

By chance, I found myself somewhere I'd wanted to go for a long time. I was quite surprised by what I saw: a Tägerbach Gorge! What a marvel of Mother Nature! The singletrack trail is accessible from north to south. At the end of the gorge, before the road to Wislikofen, there's a no-entry sign. Please do not enter from this side.

The small waterfall with a picturesque ravine and rocks is right next to the wide wooden path. If you want to wade through the creek a little, you can also watch the fall in the ditch itself.

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.
