This was by far the most beautiful hike I've ever done. First, the mystical landscape in the middle of the Alps, then the challenging tour through the forest.

Impressive tour with great highlights. The first part up to Hintersee was overwhelming. Pushing was the order of the day in the enchanted forest, as it attracts a lot of tourists due to its beauty. But it's absolutely worth it, even if the second part involves a lot of stairs and narrow spaces. It was also very beautiful further to …
