Thur Riverside Trail

Highlight • Trail

From up here on the bike is very tedious, many stairs and at the end of a very long steel staircase with 100 steps up .... not really useful ....
Downhill from Kraftwerk Trempel rather, because 300 of the 350 steps then go down ... still laborious, but because here's the most beautiful part of the entire Thur has (I think), but worth the matter now and then (I think)

Waterfall Basin on the Thur

Highlight • Waterfall

The "Thurweg" leads as an interesting narrow path to the right of the river Thur. The river is dammed at a large rock ledge and tumbles through a eroded rock gap with a waterfall down into a eroded rock basin and then into a wider basin framed on both sides by rock faces. The path leads down the northern very prominent rock face. But you can climb further down to the river with lots of rocks.

View of the Churfirsten

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Churfirsten, from all sides and perspectives, make a beautiful picture. And the lovely Eastern Swiss landscape is simply beautiful.
