Ranft (also Ranftschlucht) is the name given to a section of the Melch valley near the village of Flüeli-Ranft. The Ranft is known through Niklaus von Flüe, who withdrew here as a hermit under the name Brother Klaus. Ranft originally means edge or rim, and is also attested elsewhere as a field name for steep terrain.
