POI details

Follow the asphalt road in the direction of the lake until you see the entrance gate to the Suone Chilcheri on your right. Here you follow the magical water, initially across meadows and then through the refreshing larch forest. You hike on soft forest soil to the exit portal of the Chilcheri and the last metres to the Riedbach stream flowing down. Information: Along the Suone there are wonderful places for young and old to take a break. For the way back, you can change to a path along another water conduit.
