Even earlier, during my search for tours, I had once come across the Wissbachtobel Gorge Trail. Today, on 27.02.2026, it should finally be time to take a closer look at this gorge trail on site. For this tour, I started in Schwänberg, a beautiful agricultural hamlet just outside of Herisau.

The start is at the small free parking lot near the Espel nature reserve. Especially in the area of the castle ruins and the Salpeter cave, there are many sometimes quite high steps and steep ascents and descents, so the path is less suitable for people with knee problems.

    Wanderung war sehr schön, der Weg durch den Wald ist Anspruchsvoll man muss sich bewusst sein wo man hin Tretet. Rutschige Wurzel und das Holz das Rutschig ist von den Treppen gute Schuhe ein muss. Mit 3 Hunden eine Herausforderung😉 Schöne Grillstellen unterwegs und Landschaft. Wie schon gesagt wurde, nix für Leute mit Knieproblemen, sehr viele treppenstufen auch mit grösserem abstand. Schöner weg wen nass, muss mann zwingend trittsicher sein.
