From the Simmenfälle restaurant, a narrow mountain path leads directly along the Simmenfälle to the Barbara bridge (please only walk uphill!) or take the natural road. On the Barbara Bridge, the spray splashes in your face and you can almost touch the waterfall. The Barbarabrücke bridge or the dam in front of the waterfall is a barrage for redirecting the young Simme. This measure to prevent the valley floor from flooding was taken back in the late 18th century. Barbara was the name of a former female hotel manager who initiated the development of the Simmenfälle and the dam for tourists.
The path leading up to the forest is windy and you will be able to see deep trenches where the Simme has eaten into the rock. On arriving at Rezliberg Alp, you are now at the birth place of the Simme. In summer, up to 2'800 litres flow via the seven springs every second. The «Sibe Brünne», a magical waterfall, is a renowned source of power and a wonderful place to spend some time.
