The "Stäubenweg" is a family-friendly circular route and leads in 1 ½ hours from Gurtnellen-Wiler through the cool forest in a wild landscape back to the starting point.

On the short route, 230 meters of elevation are overcome via numerous stairs. Bridges are crossed along the way, the impressive Dreistäuber Falls admired, and strength replenished. The view into the Gorner Gorge is breathtaking. At the top, the Stäuben Chapel perches like an eagle's nest above the rocks. Several benches and rest areas invite you to linger.
