SUONEN CIRCULAR HIKE GREDETSCHTAL

closed
  • start: Mund, bus stop (1203 m)
  • destination: Mund, bus stop (1203 m)

Along the spectacular Suone Wyssa, this hike first leads you from Mund along steep rock walls and through 16 tunnels onto the rocky meadows of the Gredetschtal. Wyssa was first mentioned in documents around 1462, and its builders had to attach it to the rock under difficult conditions.

In 1928/29 the Suone was restored and its course partly relocated into tunnels; in 1998, a modern water tunnel was built. This is located next to the entrance to the Suonen path and is an alternative for hikers who are not free from dizziness.

The hike back to Mund first follows the Mundbach and then branches off to the Suone Stigwasser. With minimal gradient, it goes along the Suone back to the starting point of the hike.

The Suonen, which pass through spectacular terrain and steep rock sections, are both collected in the Gredetschtal at the Mundbach at about 1,300 m above sea level and were long used for irrigating the fields and meadows in Mund and Birgisch.

Note

The path runs partly along steep rock escarpments and must therefore be approached with caution; being free from dizziness is required. Younger children should be roped in. You pass through several narrow tunnels, so a flashlight is practical.
