Description: The hike from Urnäsch via Folenweid and Kernenmüli to Waldstatt might not appear very spectacular at first glance. However, people who prefer more secluded trails and have an eye for the beauty of nature will really enjoy this route. A hare may hop across a meadow, deer may graze on the edge of the forest or a red kite may circle above. Jolanda Spengler Text & Bilder
