Near Hohenegg
|
At the end of Riedholz, the first village on our
tour, we begin to ascend. After 30 to 45 minutes
we come to Hohenegg. From the car parkt to Hohenegg
you have climbed up 200 m. |
|
From Hohenegg we walk through wood and ascend
200 m again. A few meters below the summit of
the mountain Iberger Kugel we descend and reach
the border of the wood. At this point we will
have a break.
During
this break I will tell you about the dramatical
genesis of the Eistobel.

On rhe way to
the Schüttentobel
|
After the break we descend into the valley of
the creek Schüttentobel.
After a while we come to the border of a wood.
Here we begin to go down the Schüttentobel
(Schuetten Gorge).
At this
point I will tell you what has happend here some
thousand years ago.
|
|
At the end of this gorge we see a saw mill and have
reached the Eistobel.
|
Crevasse
|
Between the saw mill and a power station is the
river Obere Argen
an idyllic reservoir. On the left photo you can
see a crevasse.
I will
tell you about the cause of this crevasse.
|
Dense sediments
|
|

|
Behind the power station the Obere Argen reaches
its natural water bed and there is the first water
fall of the Eistobel.
I will
show you very strage excavations there.
|
 |
|
|
Nagelfluh swells
|
You will see a kind of "natural concrete"
that is called Nagelfluh.
The
pebbles tell me where they come from and I will
tell you about this mystery.
|
|
Top
|
The Argen passes a narrow area called Zwinger
(kennel). Behind the Zwinger
is another waterfall.
I will
show you the best views to take a picture.
|
|
|
Not very long there is the next waterfall. It is shown
on the top photo .
At this place
you ask me all kind of questions about geology and I
will give you the answers and I also will give you very
interesting Informationens about the climate.
|
Cattle on the
pasture
|
We walk along the Argen
and after a while step for step the gorge becomes
wider and we have climb up the steep path to the
car park.

Nearly at the end of the tour we come to a place where
you can see a coal ligament:
|
|
Coal soap section:
You can see the black
coal section clearly.
|
|
We climb up steeply to the car park and have reached
the end of our tour.
