Twannbachschlucht, Canyon in Twann-Tüscherz, Switzerland
The Twannbach Gorge features numerous footbridges crossing over rushing waters, with limestone cliffs rising vertically on both sides of the natural pathway.
The geological formation of Twannbach Gorge occurred through centuries of water erosion, creating deep channels within the Bernese limestone rock formations.
The gorge connects to the wine-producing village of Twann, where local vintners maintain traditional grape cultivation methods along the terraced hillsides.
The 10-kilometer trail through the gorge includes 180 meters of ascent and 635 meters of descent, with an entrance fee of 2 Swiss francs for adults.
Visitors can participate in guided tours accompanied by llamas and donkeys, combining nature exploration with animal interactions along the canyon path.
