From the Schwarzwaldalp via Grosse Scheidegg to Bort

The hike from the Schwarzwaldalp to Bort offers a variety of natural impressions. The trail leads through idyllic cultural landscapes against a grandiose high-mountain backdrop.

The old mule track leads from Schwarzwaldalp through mountain forest and across alpine pastures to Grosse Scheidegg. Grasslands, blueberry bushes and groups of fir trees form a delightful landscape crowned by small lakes and tiny pools. The two alpine pastures Ischara and Antseeuwen on this and the other side of the pass were awarded the cultural landscape prize of the Oberland-Ost region in 2013.After the alpine hut on Stepfihubel, the trail descends steeply to Schmale Ritt. Two passages are secured with wire ropes. On the "Höhenweg 1600 m" you soon reach another charming cultural landscape: The dry meadows in the Schwynblatten area were awarded the cultural landscape prize in 2011. At flowering time they look like flower gardens. Orchids and cotton grasses also thrive in the adjacent wetland. The area is home to the rare Sudeten Moor butterfly, the only one in the world to be found in Grindelwald. The tour ends at the Bort gondola station.
