Ravine "Tscheppa"

Thrills & natural spectacle

The elemental power of the cascading waters has been shaking and shaping this landscape for millions of years, enveloping the hiker's senses in a misty haze, embracing his soul and touching him deeply. As the source of being and life, the purest mountain water in a thousand shades of blue gives us an idea of the greatness of creation, its perpetual roar silences us. From the dark depths up into the enticing light of the Tschauko waterfall, which reveals the most magnificent cascades with a bold new route, the Devil's Bridge rises to the heavens.

And then there is the brilliant splendor of rare flowers and blossoms! The gorge is exceptional due to the presence of southern and south-eastern alpine endemics (plants that only occur in this part of the Alps) and species that may have survived the ice age in the gorge area. The descent of plants from subalpine and alpine altitudes is remarkable - they make the Tscheppaschlucht a floristic treasure.
