Animal puzzle trail Brunnital
We hike from Unterschächen southwards into the wild romantic Brunnital. With a bit of luck, we can observe chamois here. There is much to discover. Orientation is easy here. We cannot get lost.
Just before we reach the Sittlisalp cable car, we stay on the left bank and continue straight towards Unter Lauwi. Here we rest somewhere at the edge of the forest on large stones. Afterwards, we climb again up to the Alp tavern Brunnital. We admire the impressive Ruchennordwand, refresh ourselves, and then make our way comfortably back to Unterschächen.
