Description
From Schwarzwaldalp, the route follows the sunny slope of the Reichenbach valley via Pfanni to the wide basin of the Oberster Stafels of Breitenbodenalp. The view across the flower-filled alpine meadows to the Eiger, Wetterhorn, Wellhorn, Engelhörnern and as far as the Titlis area is magnificent. In 2011, the Breitenboden Alp Cooperative was awarded the cultural landscape prize of the Oberland-Ost region for its services to the preservation of this scenic jewel.
Afterwards, you hike gently up and down above the forest line out of the valley. The huts at Grindelfeld and Grindelschärm belong to Alp Grindel. A narrow path leads steeply down to Alp Chaltenbrunnen. From there, a winding gravel road leads partly across pastureland and partly through mountain forest to Seilialp, where you can enjoy the magnificent view of Rosenlaui and Wetterhorn for the last time. The last part of the descent is again very steep, leading down to Zwirgi on a forest path.
