Tips

During the ascent or descent in this beautiful forest part you will be accompanied by the soothing rippling of the streamlet. This not so often done way leads among others in the direction of the high box, if you do not want to go on the usual hiking highway.

I often take the path to bypass the Brüeltobel, because I like the ascent and ascent on mountain trails rather than walking on a flat road. Some surefootedness you should bring along for the way, especially when it rained, the path is a bit muddy.

Cool, rough, steep, uneven, damp, and slippery (depending on the conditions, but not dangerous). A highlight for lovers of such trails, for some it's probably more of a "must-do...". Mostly shaded, which can be pleasant in summer.

After heavy rain, parts of the trail can also be a stream, so waterproof shoes are recommended.

When dry, it's much easier.

The uphill is much easier than the downhill.

Difficulty level T2-T3.

And finally, this trail is definitely worth it 🤩

A quiet and, for the most part, unproblematic, beautiful trail. However, at one point, where you're practically in the middle of the riverbed for a short time, you quickly lose sight of the trail. At first, I thought you had to climb up the riverbed. Only after a strenuous climb did I see that the trail branches off to the left of the riverbed after the right-hand bend.
