Turtmann - Hohe Brücke - Brentjong - Leuk

The hike starts at Turtmann train station and initially leads uphill through the sunny Valais landscape. The first major highlight is the Hohe Brücke, which impressively spans the Turtmänna-Schlucht. The historic suspension bridge was built back in the 19th century and offers a spectacular view into the depths.

After the bridge, the trail continues over Brentjong. A quirky place with its dozens of large antennas. Here, views open up again and again over the Rhonetal and towards the surrounding Valais mountains. The varied route runs through forests and across open landscapes before the path finally leads downhill.

Finally, you reach Leuk. The historic small town with its narrow streets and old buildings forms a beautiful conclusion to this varied hike. On the Rathausplatz, numerous cosy pubs serving Valais specialties invite you to linger. For the fearless, a concluding visit to the ossuary in the church of St. Stephan in Leuk is highly recommended.
