Wildly romantic ravine with a large semi-cave, waterfall with pond, steep steps and a beautiful path along the babbling Sonnental village stream. BBQ area. Pure idyll just a little away from the village.

April 16, 2022,🇨🇭 Sonnenburg (Oberbüren) - Thur - Tobel Hohlen Stein - Geissberg - Sonnenburg

Inspired by Werner, the very varied tour leads along the Thur, through the Hohlen-Stein-Tobel and over the Geissberg, some of which are great. A nice and cozy round, which is perfect for a not so sunny Saturday afternoon.

Surprisingly beautiful tour with lots of cool changes: in addition to normal paths, constant up and down, striking ravines, steep stairs, babbling brooks, waterfalls, ponds, trails, river, forest, viewpoint, fields, monastery etc. etc.
It was a really nice tour 😍 with surprisingly good weather, hardly at home the snowfall came again ...

Thanks to Werner for the idea of the tour.

I've been here before on the occasion of a Boy Scout Pentecost camp, but that was a long time ago and it's a good idea to refresh the memories of that time.
