Itinerary description
Probably one of the nicest walks in Switzerland. Officially, the walk should take a little over 5 hours, although it took us some time longer. Bring ten francs in coins to pay for parking. The drive to the parking area is windy and narrow, but worth it. The hike follows through a protected forest area which claims to have some of the oldest vegetation and greenery anywhere.
