This beautiful circular hike starts at the public parking lot opposite the Tschiferli Cafe restaurant, where there are no fees. There are also public toilets at the parking lot.

This hike offers many opportunities to pause, either on a viewing bench or in a chapel or church along the way. The hiking trail leads along streets and narrow paths to the high bridge. This highest covered wooden bridge in Europe spans the Grosse Melchaa.

What I found to be highlights:

- The highest covered wooden bridge
- Stairs in the forest
- Great views of the Alps
- Beautiful chapels

Note: This is an easy hike for me, but it could quickly become a moderate hike for someone else.

Important: In the winter months, the section in the forest, especially the stairs, is very dangerous when they are covered with snow and ice. Surefootedness is required.

FYI: Easy hike
Difficulty level: T1 (hiking)
