Brunnital, a side valley in the Schaechental, central Switzerland. Visible here is the imposing north face of the Gross Ruchen. Quality, very long alpine sport climbing routes can be found on the north, east and south faces of the Wiss Stöckli (in front and slightly to right of the Gross Ruchen in this picture).
