Definitely preferable to the forest road through the tunnel. Some hikers may be deterred because it says "alpine climb" or similar at the entrance, but there are really only a few ladders, which is suitable for families.

Hiking

Before the first tunnel, Miesweg branches off to the right. This was built in 1878 - long before the tunnels, in order to be able to access the Lainau valley by land.
The Miesweg leads partly over wooden footbridges, which are attached to the vertical rock face directly above the lake. At the end, the path leads back up serpentines to the bridge in the Lainautal.
