Description

The circular route is 3.7 kilometres long and is located in Berschis near Walenstadt. From the village of Berschis we hike about 25 minutes upwards, until after a curve the Berschnerfall suddenly piles up in front of us. The waterfall is 46 m high individual case.

The path then goes up stairs to a tarred road, which we follow for a while. Then we turn onto a nature trail that first leads us to Ughürig Brunnä, a natural glacial mill. A legend tells that the devil in the form of a snake guards an immeasurable treasure, which is located in the well.

The path continues to the Lourdes Grotto. The grotto was opened in 1921, not least as a thank you to the municipality of Berschis for being spared from a cattle epidemic in the valley. On the benches under the large, old trees you can rest well.

Afterwards we continue on a natural path until we reach the tarred road again. This road leads us back to the village.

Geheimtipp

The waterfall is particularly impressive in spring at the time of snow melt and after heavy rainfall.

Sicherheitshinweis

Individual sections of the path in the Tobel can be damp and slippery, as can the bridge at the waterfall through the spray of the fall

Ausrüstung

Light backpack, good footwear, weather-adapted clothing, telescopic poles if necessary

Directions

The path first runs through the alleys of Berschis before a bridge leads over the Berschnerbach. From then on, it goes on a nature trail further and further into a small ravine, always close to the Berschnerbach. Halfway we reach the Berschnerfall, where a wooden bridge leads over the roaring Berschnerbach. Wooden stairs then allow us to easily overcome a short, crisp incline. On a tarred road we then go downhill until we turn back onto a nature trail at St. Georgenhügel and walk along the foot of the slope downhill. After the Lourdes Grotto, the trail leads back to the tarred road back to the village of Berschis.
