A beautiful old town that has not been over-restored, but you can tell that people live there. It is well worth walking through the alleys.

Coming from the mouth, the Schlichemtal is a wonderful valley to walk through. The path is very varied. The “finale” and also the highlight is of course the section in the gorge.
