This unmarked section is a hidden gem from late March to late April. Before the beech trees bloom, the larkspur is in full bloom in the valley floor of this section of the Vorteltal valley – even more so than the famous Lange Tal valley, located a little further south. You'll also discover many other flowers along the trail.

The upper Vorteltal runs through the forest and leads up to the Eggeberg.
