Over thousands of years the tumbling waters of the young Aare gradually eroded a passage by rushing and gurgling their way ever deeper into the rock until the present gorge with its niches, grottoes and hollows was formed.
Today visitors can marvel in safety at this 1400 meter long and 200 meter deep natural wonder from a footpath and tunnels cut through the rock.
How to get there:
By car: between Meiringen and Innertkirchen, direction East
By train: to Meiringen Station. Continue approx. 20-30 minutes on foot. Follow the sign "Aareschlucht".
Opening hours:
April to 1st November depending on weather
