Beautiful hike around the theme of water, starting in Mühlebach and ending at Wasen

The "Wasserkraft" cultural trail begins at the bridge over the Milebach stream at the western entrance to the village of Mühlebach. It then climbs steeply up the village road to the uppermost village fountain. From there, first follow the path to Chäserstatt and then the lowest path to the water catchment at Milebach (around 500 metres in total). Back in the village, you will discover the powerhouse of the hydroelectric power station. Pass the old bakery, cross the stream and climb steeply up to the Trusera water channel, which you follow up to the Wasen.
