This section of the Sihl River is truly breathtaking. Crystal-clear water flows gracefully around massive boulders that rise majestically from the riverbed. The sound of the water cascading over the stones adds a soothing rhythm to the natural symphony of the landscape.

A great and impressive place. Duck your head when walking through. Beautiful icicles in winter, occasionally closed during rain due to landslides.

The traces of storms from recent years and decades are clearly visible here. The Sihl does not always flow so peacefully...

Tunnels, caves, single trails... A completely surprising and surreal area so close to the city of Zurich. The paths here are narrow and are often used for walking and hiking. Be considerate, be friendly and push your bike a bit. That way you can enjoy the Sihlsprung - and so can the others. Thank you!
