Wolfsschlucht (gorge of the wolf) is a cantonal forest reserve and demonstrates here the enormous power of nature. A trial runs between the steep and overhanging cliffs through the narrow and wild romantic gorge with caves and erosions. We recommend getting to Wolfsschlucht by public transport. The Herbetswil Wolfsschlucht bus stop is located directly at the entrance. In the village centre of Herbetswil there are signposted parking spaces. From there the path to the Wolfschlucht is also marked. Further parking facilities are available in Welschenrohr. The Wolfschlucht is a cantonal nature reserve. Please observe the cantonal regulations (regarding fire, dogs. . . ) and the corresponding markings on site. In wet weather, very good footwear is recommended, as it can be slippery.

Opening times

Hike through the Wolfschlucht preferably during the summer half year.
