Our hike begins at Zehntenplatz, where the hiking signposts are located. We follow the brown signpost up to the Schlossfeld sports facilities. Soon it goes down again through a residential area, where the next ascent takes us to the St. Niklaus Chapel built by the Habsburgs.
We continue down St. Niklaus hill past HUG company with the Ringli shop and the distillery DIWISA towards the swimming pool. We briefly follow the Jakobsweg until the paths separate again and we pass the start of the Planet path and turn left. Then it goes west towards the Gütsch viewpoint with the distinctive white cross. Afterwards, there is a longer section through the Willbrig forest. Still in the forest, we leave the Jakobsweg and head southwest to Käppelimatt, where an oversized wine bottle indicates the popular Bottle Museum. We cross the cantonal road and follow the babbling Mühlibächli on a narrow footpath back to the starting point of our route.
