View of Gabenchopf Quarry

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a nice overview of the quarry. This is also where the trail begins along the mountain edge to the transmission mast on the Geissberg (and then a few meters further to the viewpoint).

Besserstein Castle Ruins

Confluence of the Limmat and Aare

Highlight • River

You can step over this small bridge, switch off, watch the water masses... That's where the Limmat meets the Aare. The ducks that live here offer you a relaxed game …
