Fallätsche, Geological funnel in Leimbach, Switzerland.
Fallätsche is a natural funnel formation in the Leimbach Valley near Zürich. The slope drops steeply and creates a distinct depression that stands out clearly from the surrounding landscape.
The formation developed over thousands of years through water flow and geological erosion. These natural processes continuously reshaped the valley and created the landscape we see today.
The funnel is familiar to many local people who include it in their weekend walks. It shows visitors how nature has shaped the valley over long periods of time.
The site is best reached by S4 train to Zürich Leimbach station, then following marked walking paths. The area is easily accessible on foot and offers clear views of the surrounding landscape.
The funnel is particularly clear from certain viewpoints and offers surprising perspectives on the Sihl plain. This visual feature is often noticed by photographers and hikers exploring the area.
