Getting around by PostBus

Framed by rugged rock faces and white mountain peaks, the PostBus winds its way through mighty forests and lush Alpine meadows towards the Rosenlauital. From time to time, the wild Reichenbach river creates a scene that cannot help but draw the eye. Traditional Alpine huts, beautiful cheese-storage huts and grazing cows all bear witness to a flourishing Alpine agricultural tradition that works in harmony with nature here. Together, these impressions make the comfortable journey by PostBus or on the Reichenbachfall Funicular an experience in itself!

The power of water

See the Rosenlaui Glacier Gorge, the Schwarzwaldalp Old Sawmill and the Reichenbachfall Funicular. Marvel at mighty waterfalls, romantic grottos and bizarre rock formations. Glacial water has been shaping the rock into a fantastic work of art for thousands of years and continues to do so. The unrelenting power of the water will fascinate you, awaken the philosopher in you and wash away the worries of everyday life. Walking through the Rosenlaui Glacier Gorge provides a refreshing experience of nature in a magnificent mountain setting. At first glance, things seem rather more tranquil further up the valley. The Pfannibach stream on the Schwarzwaldalp flows steadily through the water intake of the Schwarzwaldalp Old Sawmill, which is over a century old. The true power of this seemingly calm stream is only revealed inside the sawmill. Driven by the water, the saw makes short work of mighty tree trunks that have withstood every storm for decades, halving them with precision. A visit to the Schwarzwaldalp Old Sawmill promises an experience that is interesting, educational and leaves an indelible impression.

Cuisine in Rosenlauital

Much has changed since Goethe passed through the picturesque Rosenlauital. But even back then, the gifted poet enjoyed a hearty meal of local produce while travelling through. You can try a hearty “Goethe lunch” at any of these cosy restaurants and hotels: Hotel Rosenlaui, Chalet-Hotel Schwarzwaldalp, Restaurant Schluchthüttli or Gasthaus Zwirgi.

Lunch options (included with your ticket)
- Gasthaus Zwirgi: homemade cheese tart with summer salad
- Hotel Rosenlaui: pot au feu
- Schluchtenhüttli: small menu available – choose at the restaurant
- Chalet-Hotel Schwarzwaldalp: homemade soup of the day with Schwarzwaldalp Alpine cheese or smoked sausage (from the Nussbaum butcher’s)
