Interesting tour along the Lorze, can then be continued along the Sihl.

A beautiful hike along the water. Perfect on hot days. I skipped the castle ruins because I had already seen them. But they are marked and are only 5 minutes away and worth seeing! A detour to the Höllgrotte would also be recommended.

Rating: 1/5
Medium panorama, difficult climb at the beginning (1h). Some points of interest like the falls and the caves (paying).
3 hour hike to warm up
