Kärpfbrugg-Rundweg

This scenic walk through Freiberg Kärpf, Europe's oldest wildlife reserve, leads across the 50 meter wide Kärpf bridge and along the Garichti lake back to Mettmen.

The top layer of the Kärpf bridge consists of Lochseiten limestone, beneath which are softer, schistose flysch rocks, through which the Niederenbach carved its underground course and thus formed the Kärpf bridge. The natural bridge is one of the most spectacular outcrops of the Glarus thrust fault.

At low water, the approximately 50-meter long, 3 to 4-meter high underground watercourse can be walked on (at your own risk!). Guided hikes in the Freiberg Kärpf are also offered.
