Current information

Selected alternatives for you

There are many gorges in the Jura - well-known and unknown. The Schofgraben belongs to the latter. Passing the climbing park on the Balmberg, the mountain trail rises again up to the Röti. A 360 ° panorama is the reward for the ascent. On the descent to Oberdorf, the cable car is helpful.
