Short canyon section, heavily secured for commercial access (including emergency exits) with fun potential.

Access: machine translated ➜

We leave the A8 coming from Bern at Interlaken via exit 25 - Wilderswil. We drive south, through Wilderswil and up to Saxeten. A few meters before the village we cross the Saxetbach in a right turn. Before or after the bridge we can park our car on the right side of the road.

Approach (2 min): machine translated ➜

Entry from the orographic right bank at the saw (water wheel) above the road bridge.

Tour (6 h): machine translated ➜

First about 70m run, then a sequence of washed out pools with slides. Then two 8m steps, which can be slid or jumped still previous exploration. After a few more pools, the canyon exits.

Return (10 min): machine translated ➜

Exit to the left with fixed ropes, then the path back to the bridge.
