A place to stop and enjoy nature. You can also take beautiful photos of the waterfall.

This waterfall above Steinenbrügli is a wonderfully beautiful place. I went there a lot as a child because I lived nearby. The things I experienced there... There's also a small nature reserve with a canal running parallel to the Frenke (that's the name of the stream). There's so much to discover. Below the waterfall, about 50 meters away, there are gravel banks when the water level is low, which invite you to linger and enjoy the peace and quiet...🔆

Nice bridge, but be careful when turning left or right into bicycle lane.

The small village of Kilchberg, located in the lovely Eital valley, has fewer than 200 inhabitants. It boasts a picturesque townscape with old houses and farmsteads, flower-filled fountains, and the dominant neo-Gothic Church of St. Martin. The church was first documented in 1276. Today, however, only the tower, built in 1619, remains; the rest of the church building was demolished and rebuilt in 1867/68.

The view is dominated on the right by the Farnsberg hill, with the bright, light-colored ruins of Farnsburg Castle perched on its upper slope, visible from afar. A visit to the ruins is highly recommended. From up here, the view sweeps down to the village of Hemmiken and further into the Jura Mountains.

Magical spot in the woods by the Frenke - perfect for a break or a paddle. An arched stone bridge crosses the river here, and the bubbling waters descend a series of small falls.

Peaceful town square with a water feature, overlooked by the church tower.
