This section of the Züri-Oberland-Höhenweg leads through the Alp Ergeten, a very beautiful and well-kept nature reserve. Here the path is much nicer than between Allehaben and Rotbüel, where it simply leads along the road.

Nice tour if the weather isn't good for the real mountains...
All the paths are easy to walk, with steep ascents and descents in between. You just need to enjoy hiking and be fit enough for 20km!
