- Brief description
-
A varied mountain hike over pastures and through storm-ravaged forests on vast terraced slopes high above Lake Brienz. A special sight is the Hinterburgseeli lake, nestling beneath steep mountain faces – a gem among the mountain lakes of the Oberland. Just as worthwhile are the sculptures fashioned from the stumps of dead trees along the path at the beginning of the hike.
