The hike starts in Riedtwil and leads to an old mill and further along the Mutzbach. After 2.3 kilometres, you reach the 14-metre-high waterfall. Now it is time to take a break, enjoy the natural shower, and splash around.
Afterwards, the tour takes you along a stepped path to the other side of the stream. You now climb up the rock face via a few easy ladder steps. You then reach Rüedisbach via a small path through the forest. Here you can enjoy the wonderful view of the surrounding hilly landscape before you reach your destination Wynigen via meadows and along the edge of the forest.
