Let yourself be carried away by this beautiful city with its small river (the Leuk) which crosses the old town and the square where the terraces are legion, and of course this superb waterfall which feeds old mills and this water joins the Saar below

Small, well-designed market with many places to stop for refreshments right by the Leukbach, a few small pedestrian bridges and the sound of the waterfall in the background. Often overrun with tourists, but still atmospheric.
