Federigrat
Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint
The path is earthy and grassy all around, which gives you a good grip and there are also wider sections so that even people like me who suffer from a fear of heights can enjoy it.

Plättlispitz
Highlight • Summit
If you are on the way to Federispitz, a ridge walk automatically leads past Plättlispitz and you have climbed two crosses in one tour ;-).
Up here you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Walensee, up to the Churfirsten and Glarner Alps etc.
The way from the Federspitz over the Plättlispitz in the direction of Unternäte is a nice balancing act. There are two rope-insured points to overcome (which really are not witchcraft). It is simply a beautiful, harmless ridge path with the most beautiful views.

Winding forest trail
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
If you want to get back to Ziegelbrücke from Federispitz or Unternätenalp, this route is more direct and shorter, but maybe a bit steeper.
If you come from the Unternätenalp, you can easily miss the entry into this forest path, so someone has put extra stones on the edge of the road, so you can find the entry.
