Müllerthal: Calcareous tuff spring and Schiessentümpel

View the photos of this hike

We did this hike on 14/04/2025 (13,411 steps)
It is partially marked with W7 in one direction. We parked at the parking lot of the Schiessentümpel.
This route allows you to enjoy various highlights that Müllerthal has to offer. Firstly, one follows the valley of the Black Ernz for a while to then ascend through the idyllic valley of the Gluedbaach before descending back to the Black Ernz. This southern loop is almost 6 km. The Kalktuff fountain can be seen on this loop. Those who are not so adventurous can only do this loop. A spacious parking area is provided at the CR 118.
The northern loop is quite adventurous. After the southern loop, you go a short distance along CR 121 to take an ascending path to the left at the bench. A little further, we had to climb over large boulders. So be careful! Due to construction work, it’s a bit tricky to determine which path to take.
On this loop, you pass the Schiessentümpel waterfall.
Happy hiking,
