NPHT: Schösswendklamm and Hintersee - On the way in the Felbertal

Here, at the valley floor near the Schösswend Gorge, water has been cutting through the hard rock for thousands of years. This has created impressive erosion forms, pools, and small waterfalls. Following the gorge, the trail continues to Hintersee, where you will learn interesting facts about the flora and fauna in the back Felbertal. On the north side of the lake, the circular path leads to a hill with a view over the valley end with its imposing rock walls, where chamois can be seen. The return journey is along the same route. Difficulty: easy summer excursion on wide hiking paths.
