We begin our tour at the Visitor Centre in Aldino. Following the trial no. 3, which is also part of the trail E5, we go down the canyon and arrive at the “Taubenleck”, the lower part of the canyon. Then we go up again and come to the waterfall (Butterloch). From here we have to go back for about 200 m and follow then the “Jagersteig”. After a difference in altitude of 140 m we return to the Visitor Centre by the forest road.
