Wolfsschlucht-Weg

The starting point for this walking is in the village of Welschenrohr. The Wolf Gorge is a cantonal forest reserve and demonstrates the tremendous powers of Mother Nature. Between high and partially over-hanging rocky cliffs, the trail winds upwards through the narrow, wildly romantic gorge with its caves and erosions.

At the end of the climb, you leave the Wolf Gorge through a narrow passage. Continuing over lush Jura pastures, the trail goes via Tannmatt to Mieschegg and then to Hinter Brandberg. The view of the other side of the valley offers tantalising glimpses of one of the largest uninterrupted woodland regions of Switzerland. Dropping down to Welschenrohr, the route passes through a lynx reserve.

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.
