This easy circular hike goes over roots and stones, mainly on forest paths. The trail leads around the Schwändi district and is marked with attractive wooden plaques. After a short time, a beautiful pond can be found a few meters off the path (southwestern edge of the settlement). Above the pond, there is a public picnic area.
The view from Bitzisegg over the whole valley is particularly beautiful. In the vegetation-free season (autumn to spring), the variant via Brachweid–Obwidehof can be hiked, which offers a wonderful panoramic view as far as Säntis.
