Less exciting canyon full of boulders

Access: machine translated ➜

Drive from Solothurn to Lommiswil, take Schauenburgstrasse and follow the road (4 km). Park directly after the tunnel over the canyon.

Approach (5 min):

Tour (1 h): machine translated ➜

Seen from the road, the indentation looks great, steep and deep. Seen from the inside, it is full of boulders! There are two abseiling points, the canyon was equipped with all kinds of ladders in the past, made of iron, wood...An amazing descent! No emergency exit. Walkable after rain!

Return (25 min): machine translated ➜

To avoid a slightly longer way back or a shuttle bus, you can climb up over a beautiful boulder field on the right-hand side of the path after the last waterfall. This boulder field leads back to the road.

Important information

Danger notice / Disclaimer

Walking in gorges (canyoning) involves non-obvious and potentially lethal dangers! In order to face them adequately, a thorough preparation of any walk is absolutely necessary. Reading the information available on this website is in no way sufficient for such a thorough preparation.

The available descriptions are based on personal experiences of different climbers and accordingly give a subjective impression of the conditions at a certain date in the past. The conditions can change significantly at any time due to, among other things, the weather (precipitation, snowmelt, ...) or possible events in alpine terrain (rockfalls, avalanches, ...). The described technical installations can also change radically due to natural events (floods, corrosion) or human intervention (vandalism, theft, ...).

Accordingly, neither the correct nor the complete description can be guaranteed by the site operators and creators of the information available here. Opencanyon.org disclaims any liability for damages of any nature!
