Super beautiful waterfall in a somewhat remote location, easily accessible on foot via Felskluft (leave your bike). Fantastically beautiful location near the Thur.

Beautiful, impressive Thur landscape at the small bridge at Felsental (near Lichtensteig) with a small gorge (only on foot!) and a beautiful waterfall.

From here on, from the bridge, you can see a little into the gorge-like ravine, which is extremely beautiful. But to see more and to see the waterfall, you have to go in on foot (see separate highlights).
