In front of the forest hut, there's a huge forecourt that can be used for a variety of activities. The nearby fountain is an ideal water source for both two-legged and four-legged friends.

Corresponds to the trail above Guldenen or the "Guldenen secret path". In the upper part S1, in the lower root trail S2.

Why wander into the distance when the good is so close. This saying proves true once again on this route. Close to the city and yet far away from the busy streets of the agglomeration. The variety between gentle and crisp climbs as well as flowing and rapid descents is what makes it so special. Because most of the time you only hear the crunching of the tires on the gravel paths.
