Limmeren Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Imposing gorge from which the small river Limmeren has eroded impressive formations from the hard limestone rock. The rocks rise vertically and in places the water has eaten caves.

After its active military service during the Second World War and the Cold War, the facility was last used as an ammunition depot. Due to its typologically unusual spatial arrangement, it is considered a military monument worthy of protection.

The cave is really easy to reach! A Sunday stroll and easy peasy, possibly even doable with a stroller. Only your own dog, sliding towards you with a small rockslide while you are clinging to a tree stump on all fours, can be a bit tricky.

We went there today accidentally because we missed the right path. Oh boy, the last 50m up are really advanced and going down even more (we also had a lot of leaves). We might not be very experienced hikers but this one is dangerous for many. We downloaded an emergency app before risking the descent x). This is why I wouldn’t recommend it without hesitation.

Great cave with 5 holes and a fantastic view. CAUTION: The climb is very steep; surefootedness and a head for heights are required on the T2 trail!

This is the "Little Bear Hole" (up to the right) and also very worth seeing. However, this climb is somewhat more difficult than the one to the "Bear Hole" (up to the left) because the path is narrow, unsecured, steep, sloping, and difficult to see in autumn 🍂. Once you reach the cave, you can walk through it and continue up an alpine trail (behind Brandberg). Some of the photos of this highlight are incorrect and do not belong to this cave at all, but to the other one!!!

Wild, narrow and green, the Wolfsschlucht in the Thal Nature Park in the Solothurn Jura is an adventure for the whole family. Rock walls up to 100 meters high, some of them overhanging, line the gorge. Even in summer it is pleasantly cool and shady. The path leads past caves and washouts. There are several fire pits where you can fortify yourself with a picnic. The entrance is directly at the Herbetswil Wolfsschlucht bus stop. Parking is available in the village center of Herbetswil.

Wonderful gorge with many waterfalls. Cool in the hot summer because it's always in the shade...
