Dala Gorge – Thermal Springs Bridge

Less than one kilometre from the village square the Thermal Springs Footbridge crosses the Dala Gorge of Leukerbad. The footbridge is almost 600 metres long and stands four metres above the riverbed. The powerful waters beneath are impressively close. Brown traces of rust on the surrounding rock faces indicate that there is iron in the thermal waters. Following moss-covered cliffs, hikers cross a 21-metre-long bridge to a 35-metre-high waterfall. On the way back, you bypass the gorge on the northern or southern side to get back to the Heilbadbrücke (healing bath bridge).
