An enticing guide!
Take a step back in time while hiking along the GEOPARC.

At the foot of the Weißhorn / Corno Bianco, a small streamlet dug a deep valley in the mountain over the course of millions of years, thus creating a unique natural monument: the Bletterbach gorge. Regardless of the seasonh or hour of the day, the steep rocky walls, roaring waterfalls and beautiful colours shimmering across the surfaces always show themselves under a new light, enchanting not only hikers with a penchant for geology but also nature lovers, amateur photographers and people simply looking for peace and quiet.

Itinerary

The hiking tour into the Bletterbach Canyon starts from the Visitor Centre in Aldino and leads to the “Taubenleck” and finally to the waterfall in the so called “Butterloch”. This tour is a journey through the “geological Middle Ages”.

We begin our tour at the Visitor Centre in Aldino. Following the trial no. 3, which is also part of the trail E5, we go down the canyon and arrive at the “Taubenleck”, the lower part of the canyon. Then we go up again and come to the waterfall (Butterloch). From here we have to go back for about 200 m and follow then the “Jagersteig”. After a difference in altitude of 140 m we return on path "G" firt to the Lahneralm and than on E5/3 back to the Visitor Centre by the forest road.
