Zügenschlucht
A deep, narrow gorge carved by the Landwasser River. A hike along the old cantonal road reveals rock walls, tunnels and a railway bridge, and it is especially serene in summer and autumn.
The gorge lies in southern Davos between Glaris and Wiesen. The trail follows the abandoned old cantonal road through the gorge, passing rock fissures known as 'Bear Tracks' and a small mining museum (Schmelzboden). The route is gentle throughout and takes about 1.5–2 hours; you can take the train back. The trail is closed in winter, and you should watch for falling rocks after rain.
