Gummischlucht Sigriswil

The start is the information point in front of the Panorama Bridge Sigriswil. Via the parking lot and Raftstrasse, you reach the entrance to the Gummischlucht near the church.
The path begins with a descent. Soon you will hear native birds singing. The view falls on the impressive Nagelfluh of the Tschingelfluh. At a pillar you find information about forest and wood, next to it is a resting place. The path continues over a bridge with breathtaking views into the deep gorge down to the stream bed with its large stones, the erratics. The forest path gently ascends in small curves. A bench invites you to take a break amidst nature. Further along is a small valley, the “fischtere Gräbli”. Particularly charming is this 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 Nagelfluh made of rounded stones (granite, gneiss, limestone, etc.) can be seen very close here. Following the Aeschlen signpost, you climb up, leave the forest and reach the Hotel Panorama Aeschlen not far from the Panorama Bridge.
