The restaurant is the entrance to the Roffla Gorge. The entrance fee of CHF 4 is well worth it. You can also enjoy a fine meal at the restaurant after the tour. The wooden tables in the garden restaurant come from the restaurant's own sawmill, and the awning in front of the restaurant comes from the restaurant's own spinning mill.

Nice way. The streams fall a little further out over the large rock face

The central part of the inn was built in 1632. Essentially, it was a residential building where the living room also served as a guest room. Another important date is 1885 when the then owner Andreas Melchior enlarged the stable and added a dining room. As the inn was not profitable, Christian Pietschen Melchior emigrated to America in 1890. He returned in 1901, took over the inn and began planning a rock gallery in the gorge. The work was carried out from 1907 to 1914.

Worth seeing Roflaschlucht and small inn. The old name is still on the inn: Rofflaschlucht. More information: https://www.rofflaschlucht.ch/start.html and https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roflaschlucht
