The route starts in the village of Emmetten and leads up the road to the turnoff of the toboggan run. After the leisurely ascent on a paved alpine road, a lively mix of gravel road and single trail follows. Always with the most beautiful view of Lake Lucerne, it goes through the forest and over small paths via Rotifluh over Eggeli to Hammen. Then full concentration is required: a challenging descent to Choltalstrasse follows. Once reached, the heavily shaken hands and blood-circulated wrists get their well-deserved break. From here, the path leads directly back to the starting point in the village of Emmetten.
In the Choltal, along the Choltalbach, there are several picnic areas and fire pits.
