Gummischlucht Sigriswil

The start is the info point in front of the Sigriswil Panorama Bridge. Via the parking lot and Raftstrasse you reach the entrance to the Gummischlucht at the church.
The path begins with a descent. Soon you hear native birds singing. The view falls on the impressive conglomerate rock of the Tschingelfluh. At a pillar you find information about forest and wood, next to it is a rest area. The path continues over a bridge with a breathtaking view into the deep gorge down to the stream bed with its large stones, the erratic boulders. In small curves, the forest path gently ascends. A bench invites you to take a break in the midst of nature. Further on follows a small valley, the “fishing Gräbli”. This is especially charming in May when the green and white wild garlic carpet covers the ground. Towards Aeschlen, you cross a bridge. The highly interesting rock formation of the conglomerate made up of rounded stones (granite, gneiss, limestone and others) can be seen up close here. Following the signpost to Aeschlen, you climb up, leave the forest and reach near the Panorama Bridge the Hotel Panorama Aeschlen.
