Natural jewel Mutzbachfall

From the bus stop at the (no longer serviced) Riedtwil train station, head towards the village center first. Then follow Oschwand Street to the old mill, which is close to falling apart. The following stretch along the Mutzbach leads through a charming landscape. Between the wooded slopes, the Mutzbach winds from one side of the valley to the other. Small bridges allow crossing. The valley steadily narrows, and the path becomes a grassy track. The roaring of the Mutzbachfall can already be heard. Over a sandstone wall, the considerable volume of water in spring falls into a basin, which is bypassed via a stairway. Over a short metal ladder, a small rock wall must even be conquered. A path blasted into the rock continues along the upper edge of the basin, then crosses the brook on a small wooden bridge and follows the magnificent beech forest alongside the water, which slowly carves into the sandstone. It goes quite steeply up to the height of Rüedisbach. The panoramic view continues to widen at the crossing from Hinter Leggiswil to Riedern, from where a narrow path leads down along a sandstone cliff to Wynigen. In the church with the delicate volute gable tower, Albert Bitzius (Jeremias Gotthelf) was once married to Henriette Zeender.
