Buuschenbach Stairs

Highlight • Trail

Great hiking trail from the suspension bridge down to Buuschenbach or vice versa. The path leads over a small suspension bridge at the very bottom and further over stairs and forest floor up to the large suspension bridge.

A very beautiful mountain hike of moderate difficulty, in parts it is quite steep uphill and downhill. Hiking poles are recommended, especially in the lower part during the ascent, for those who need support. The paths are well secured. There are very beautiful viewpoints along the entire mountain hike. If the weather is nice and there are no clouds, you have a fantastic view of the Alps at the top. There are a few barbecue areas and a few benches along the entire route.
You must be sure-footed and have alpine experience.
Important: This mountain hike starts directly from the public car park (free of charge) at Oberwil train station in Simmental.


Highlights of the mountain hike are the Leiternweide Oberwil suspension bridge, which is 111 meters long and 111 meters high above the gorge. The path then leads down the newly renovated Leiternweg to the ruins of the Weissenburg baths.

Important: Can be done with children aged 12 and over with very good sure-footedness and very good fitness is a must.

For your information: Moderately difficult mountain hike

Zwergliloch Cave

Highlight • Cave

The dwarf hole is just a small cave. With the tables and two fire pits, it is a nice place to rest and grill.
