From the 17th to the 19th century, freshwater pearl mussels were even farmed in the waters of the Perlenbach stream—hence its German name. From here, you have a magnificent view of the Perlenbach reservoir and the surrounding valleys.

Perlenbach Root Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This wonderful nature trail is in close proximity to the Perlenbach stream. Some surefootedness is required, especially when it is wet, as the exposed roots of the spruce trees can be very slippery.
