Talweg Ganter
In the Middle Ages Ganter and Grund were a valley community inhabited all year round. First documentary mentions date back to the end of the 13th century. The hike through the historically, architecturally and botanically interesting Gantertal valley takes you past various sights.
Among other things, it is worth discovering:
- The Gantertal - the diverse vegetation of the "Little Valais"
- Old and New Ganter Bridge
- Kalchofen
- Old houses, barn and chapels
- Iron mine in the Grund
