5 hours, 13.6 kilometres and over 600 metres ascent and descent: this water trail is quite challenging. But the unspoilt beauty of the rear Kiental rewards hikers handsomely. The adventure begins after the village at the bus stop "Abzweigung Spiggengrund". On the following loop through the valley basin, you are surrounded by numerous waterfalls. At the Spiggenschlucht gorge, surefootedness is required on the path towards Kiental village - here the hiking trail (T3), which is secured with a rope, is exposed. Alternatively, there is an easier way back to the starting point at the bus stop.
