Experience sheer refreshment: Pochten Falls in the Suldtal
The roaring of the waterfall can be heard even from some distance away. At the extreme end of the Suldtal, the Pochten Falls captivates visitors. The thundering waters of the mountain stream as they tumble 80 m in the void have an invigorating influence and give you renewed energy for the everyday routine.

On a warm summer’s day, an outing to the Pochten Falls is all about sheer refreshment. Follow the circular Pochten Falls route around the impressive rocky funnel in one hour and 10 minutes. The 2 km trail starts from the Suld Inn restaurant at the end of the Suldtal. This enjoyable path treats you to views of the invigorating Pochten Falls from a variety of perspectives. Take a break for a grill session at the Pochten Falls barbecue point.

Plan your arrival

The Suldtal is accessible from early May to the end of October. The easiest way to reach it is by taking the Suldtal Bus from Aeschiried to the Suld Inn restaurant between Juli and the end of October.
