Brieltal

Another nice valley with usually less people (unless it's snowflake time) is the Briel valley. 
Along the way there is a cave called Kätheren Kuch (Catherine's kitchen) because a woman lived there at the end of the 18th/beginning of the 19th century and whenever she was cooking people from the village could see the smoke. Her parents also live in a cave nearby and lived from what the farmers of the village gave them.
There is also a former castle but the site is quite disappointing - not really anything left there apart from a few hills.
