Exciting place, also for children. They shouldn't be too small. You climb a bit and should bring good light.

This place is particularly popular with hikers and nature lovers. Marvel at the impressive rock formations and enjoy the untouched beauty of nature.

Heideloch or Heidechuchi is a rock crevice that you can crawl through. Permanently installed iron grips provide the necessary hold. A few meters south of the Heideloch, you will find the Flädermus-Stübli. This cave is about 20 meters long and about 10 meters deep.
