Route predominantly on forest tracks. The highlight of this route is the viewing point on the Weritztafel at 2,102 metres above sea level. Here you have a magnificent view of the impressive Bietschhorn Massif. From Chländerflue, follow the single track to Blatten. A further highlight of this route is the St. Wendelin Chapel in Eisten and the ancient village of Blatten.
